port on mastectomy lymph node removal side

My port was put in on my mastectomy and lymph node removal side because my mets appeared on the other side and would obstruct the surgeon around the neck and collarbone area.

I have a continual swelling where my arm and breast would meet, which makes my mastectomy look even more hollow, but the swelling hasn't gone down the arm nor caused any pain.

I've had the same port for 17 months now with no problems.
