MY CHEMOTHERAPY PORT SCAR

Fort Worth, TX

The scar is where they cut me to put the port in so I could get my chemotherapy without having to find veins everytime I went in. It is now gone and just the scar remains. It is a reminder everyday of where I was a year ago.

I have the same scar and look at it daily and thank the great lord above that I am now cancer free. So glad to hear you are as well :)

To guest....they keep it in until chemo is over and reconstruction is done. I had mine for about 6 months. It just depends on each case, actually. Some folks keep there's in for a while because of the type of cancer they have. It is much easier to deliver chemo to the port than sticking you in the arm each time.

how long can a port stay in your chest, is there a time limit.
