Hi Anne, I just posted here on another thread about being "portable". I too am finding my port site tender. It was installed the end of Oct so I am hoping it still has some healing to do.But for now I have trouble with clothing against it. The area is still sore. And the onc nurses have to put me through some contortions before they are able to get blood from it...
