I have had my chemo port in for 7 weeks now. Recently it just started to hurt a little. Can it be because of the cold weather coming in? It’s not all the time that it hurts just sometimes . Anyone else experience something like this??

Hi Isaacsmom. I have had an Hickman line in since April and have had discomfort almost all of the time - a dull ache and pulling feeling. Since the weather has turned colder over the last few weeks I have noticed that it hurts when outside so am wearing a scarf more to protect my neck.
I also find that the way I sleep also affects it. Marli x
