Port Question!
If there is no place to put a port in the chest area where else can they put it??? I am thinking about asking to have my port removed and there is no place on the chest to put it. I am trying to get some info ahead of time for my oncologist. I am sure I will have to talk to the surgeon and he may have some ideas. I am sure I am not the only one in the situation. hugs, Sandy
