@sharonsturdivan - I don't recall feeling anything like fishing line running from the cut. My cut was below my collar bone - no cut in my neck. But I will say it made all my treatments so much easier - hands free / no arm or hand IV during treatment. I still have my port even after treatment was complete - it was suggested I could keep the port in forever or have it removed about 3 years after all treatment was complete. The only thing is I need to return to the treatment center about ever 12 weeks to have a quick port flush. In and out in about 10 minutes - from time to sit down, clean the area, have port flushed to walking out the door. It was the best suggestion provided to me. I had one treatment via IV and I felt as if I couldn't move my arm during the infusion - the port made it so much better.
