The only consideration I've had with my medical port is the strap on one of my bras rubs against the medical port - it doesn't hurt; but it can be annoying. But that medical port was the best thing for my chemo treatment. I now go in about every 12 weeks to have the port flushed - which takes about 5 minutes to clean and flush with a solution - which I believe is just a saline to make sure the port remains usable.
