Is a Chemo port removal painful?
When i had it put in, they said it wouldn't hurt, and it'd just be a little sore. While they were putting it in, it didn't hurt, but the next day, it was painful for two weeks, and i was stuck in bed. Also, whatever pain meds they gave me made no difference, so i didn't even take them. I'd rather leave the port in than be in pain because i have plans for the next two weeks. But my oncologist has been pushing me, so the removals sheduled in two days. All of this is making me kinda angry even though i should be grateful. Im worried im going to get the port removed, go home fine, and wake up the next day in pain, throwing a temper tantrum, lol.
