Pain around chemo port?
I've been reading this forum for a while now and have a question about sharp pains around my port (installed around 9/13/07 just below my collar bone). My onc says that it feels as though it is fine but every now and again (usually after some type of activity involving reaching overhead for something) I get very sharp pains that come and go for a day or two. Most of the time I don't even know its there now that I'm used to it, but these sharp pains make me crazy. I've been doing so well with all this that I'm not used to having such a problem. Also, I have a choice of getting Herceptin every week or every three weeks. What do you all recommend?
