Ok, this is going to be a really odd question but I have to ask.
What does your port feel like under your skin?
I was told my port site was just below my chest - had the four keyhole incision sites across my belly and then one stright one just where my bra strap goes (you can tell it was done by a man *lol*)
When I spoke to the lady at the hospital earlier this week about the lump I have near one of my incision sites she felt it a bit then asked if it wasn't my port site. I said that I'd been told that it was the one on my chest, and when I feel near my ribcage I can feel a flat, solid object. The lump near my incision site is longer and thinner and the end is pressing against my skin so you an actually see a lump on the surface (bit gross, sorry!)
She arranged *another* appointment for me to see a member of the surgical team but that's not until the end of the month and meanwhile I'm getting really confused and worried about it. I just wanted to see that I wasn't being silly and mistaking my port for something else. I'm almost sure I'm not but I don't really know so really would appreciate input from other!
TIA
