The port that was put in my chest yesterday has been really sore. I feel like someone took a hammer to my chest. I think part of the problem is the original surgery to remove the lump hasn't fully healed, and both the new incisions made are really close to where the first one was....eeeeeek!!!! It was burning and itching today so I took off the saran wrap like tape that was surrounding the gauze and it was blistered. Pretty sure it was an allergic reaction. The good news is, I have never been allergic to anything in my life and now when people say are you allergic to anything I can say, "why yes, I am." Then when they ask, "what", I will reply, "to the saran wrap like sticky tape stuff they use in surgery." I didn't expect it to be so painful and I am so thankful I chose Wednesday to have it put in instead of Tomorrow morning before chemo....That would have been a real doozy on top of treatment.
The port :( and the itchy little blisters.... My port deserves a name, any ideas? After all, It is going to help save me! XO
