Should I get a port?

I hope your port discomfort is fading. I had that, too. It took a while for me to get used to it, but a lot of that was psychological. I had a double port and I used to think that it looked like someone had put a contact lens case into my chest. Sounds silly as I type that, but at the time I saw no humor in it. Still, it did its job well and I’m grateful. Cancer is quite the learning curve for things we never wanted to know about. Please keep us posted on your treatment. 🤗

@ffr Thanks- it was put in Tuesday, today is Friday and I gave in and took Tylenol just now. It REALLY hurts. No fever, redness or swelling- just healing from ncisions and that darn thing in my chest! Appreciate your reply.
