Questions about Ports

I need to get a catheder port before I start my chemo and am wondering what is involved in the installation process and also the maintenance. Is everything under your skin? Is there a big lump there that looks funny under tight fitting or low-cut clothes? Anything else I should know? How far in advance of the beginning of my treatment do I need to do this. I realize my doctor can answer most of these questions, but I don't see her again for awhile.

I am so glad to have found this site! Thanks in advance for any advice you veterans can offer me.
