Chelee,

Don't worry about the long write up. You need to let it out somewhere. I understand- have done same myself.

I had a port put in two weeks ago because my one vein on the hand was calling it quits. The interventional oncologyst that did mine said that sometimes the ports in the arm can be a bit more troublesome because of the tube that has to run to the chest ; a longer distance.

But he did add that many of us opt for it because we cannot longer handle too many more things on the chest. He's right.

Maybe there's an infection? any redness? or inflammation.

Yes, like Al says, you need to have it seen. I know what you mean about crying, what next. You go get the port and now it doesn't work.
