Chemo port surgery
I'm a very lean person. My last 2 chemos had resulted in vein blood clots in both hands. Facing pain when doing small work in one of the hands. Doctor suggested to fix chemo port for blood clot issue.
Worried about chemo port insertion if it would be problem for me as I am very thin/lean person.
