Dear Chelee,

Please don't worry about the length of your posts! We have some members, myself included occasionally, who write a whole book or PHD thesis!!

First, your pulse is a red herring related to your concern about the port. Pulse will go up when you are anxious and is probably the best indicator verifying your concerns. I always would go with my gut instincts because 9 times out of 10; they will be correct. If you think the port is malfunctioning, make an appointment with your surgeon asap to get it fixed. Anyone else would only be guessing.

Learn to trust yourself above all others and you'll be on the right track!
