Re: Port Flipped
Hi, my port has flipped several times. Sometimes they can flip it manually, but I have had to have surgery. After the second time, the surgeon moved it more to the center of my chest, closer to the clavicle, and so far so good.
If you are not in treatment, you may just want to have it removed, and worry about a new one if it is ever needed in the future.
