I just had my port inserted yesterday (into chest area). They left the catheter (the thing that hooks up to the chemo) in and I received my Navelbine/Herceptin about 3 hours after insertion. They pulled the needle when done and put more steri-strips on and clear tape bandage over that. All looked good last night before bedtime, no bleeding, no protrusion, nothing.
I got up this morning and now it is protruding outward and I have some blood seepage. Onc's office says since it isn't painful and there is no redness or hot to touch, don't worry.
My question is does everyone's port protrude somewhat from their skin? It's probably swelled up or protuded about 1/2 inch since last night.
Any input would be appreciated! I am planning to be out of town for the weekend and would like to avoid trips to ER!
Thanks so much and have a wonderful Labor Day weekend!
Cindi.
