Just had my port-a-cath procedure today and was wondering if it's normal to feel tightness on the side of my chest near where it was placed?

Yes mine felt tight at first too. I have difficulty sleeping on the side where I have my port. Looking forward to getting it out in three months.

It really makes treatment less difficult but mine was miserable the whole time. I couldn't wait to get it out. The port protects you veins from wearing out. In the long run it is a good thing. My girlfriend had hers for 3 years, that I know of, and it never bothered her.

Comment 0This is a question to ask your oncologist or his office. They can tell you if this is something to be concerned about and give you some peace of mind. We are taking some very powerful drugs which can have all sorts of side effects. Some of them we just have to live with and some need to be addressed. This is best done by chatting with your oncologist's office. Take care, Sharon

I agree with Sharon. I had some side effects with Arimidex and was just switched to Tamoxifen. Keep your oncologist apprised of any issues you have. Good luck and feel better.

Had a bilateral mastectomy with bilateral lymph node removal and immediate reconstruction 5/15/13. My pathology stated that 13 of 15 nodes removed have cancer.

Yep. Hang in there. Read and eat good stuff and don't add to your receptors. I think that's about all we can do. We do the best we can.
Wishing you a good team
