Re: Portacath question

Hi Carolyn

I had two days of flue like side effects after my first Zomita and then on other side effects with Zomita treatments after that. I hope the same is true for you.

No questions a trivial question here. Glad you ask. I don't know about that kind of port problem...
. I have a deep port with a lot of fat on top. I just got a bra and two breast in the mail. The strap lays right over my port and presses on it. Not comfortable at all. I may try to cover it with padding cause I would like to try to wear the bra and see how I like it..

Carolyn .. I'm sure some others have had your same issue and will post soon.

Have a great day,
