Chrisy,

I have had mine in for little over 1 year now and never had any issues- I didn't go the power port but only because I didn't think I would be having that many ct/pet scans and as it has 3 little raised dots I didn't want my young children fixating on them and rubbing me raw!!
I have never needed the elma cream for the port access but do have it for the zoladex inj. Mine is a little lower towards the breast but this is again due to kids and not wanting them resting their heads against it and hurting me!
Enjoy yours it really is easy!
