Its spread to my port!
I'm due to start a new chemo (Myocet) on Friday as I have a skin lesion on my chest that has been growing. My Port is on the other side of my chest. On Tuesday of this week I went to see the emergency room Oncologist as the port was inflamed and weeping. I was given anti biotics. This morning my whole chest is red and it looks as if its all one wound. Has anyone had this happen? I dont know what, if anything, can be done about this. I think I have entered a very serious stage, if anyone can help I would appreciate it.
