I have read and read but I cant find anything on where the port site is. I am a physical therapist (HOW IRONIC IS THAT?! ) and I often work with patients on transfers. This sometimes requires my arms to be in close to my body when lifting, and am wondering about the sensation of feeling the port under my skin. Thanks for any info!!

My port is right underneath the skin under my left boob. I don't even think about it or feel it.

My port is about center midriff above the waist below my breasts and slightly to the center right.

Discuss your concerns with your Dr.
