I just got my port over a month ago and found out today it has to be replaced. They will replace it friday.

It's kind of confusing what happened to it, but the catheter somehow moved and has come up close the skin. Maybe that would n't be a big deal but the scab where the inserted the catheter fell off a couple days ago and now there is a tiny whole exposing the catheter. It must be replaced to prevent infection.

I'm really bummed about it. I was so happy to get the port ( in my arm) and it had worked so well. Now this...ugh.
