Hi,
I had port placed in the chest last august and have no problem since. Before even the nurses were sweatening in trying to find a vain. The surgeon measured it very well before so I could wear clothes that are open to breastline and also tried to hid it behind the strap of the bra or swimsuit. I was even surprised when he was painting the right place before the surgery because I didn't think like that (always wear something to my neck and sleeves). This was his way of doing it to I could hide it and be comfortable with it. The port is saving me tim and also the nuses when I go for my Taxotere, herceptin and Zometa. By the way I live in Iceland and this doesn't cost me anything extra because our health-care is in the taxes and it was done in the Univesity Hospital in the capital.
Best to you all
Jóhanna
