I have a power port that was placed over 18 months ago. Mine is on the right side just below the collar bone and, while it took some getting used to, I love it! I am a needle phobic, so this helped with my anxiety regarding treatment. Now I am receiving zometa every three months as part of a study.
When I was scheduled for an MRI the technician said they could not use my port for the dye. Should I request a PET instead?
My CA was on the left side.
