Re: Who else has a Power Port?
I've had my Power Port for over 2 years with no problems. Mine is in the same place as yours is. The only time it bothers me is when I want to wear a lower cut shirt. I haven't had any MRI's since it was placed, but as far as I know it hasn't presented any problems with my PET/CT scans. I love it because they access it for scans. I never have my veins poked!
Good luck with your port...I hope you get used to it & it works well for you.
