Port complications like this can be concerning and it sounds like this experience was uncomfortable. Many people in cancer treatment communities have shared similar experiences with port issues, and it's something worth discussing with your medical team, especially with the ongoing redness you mentioned. Your healthcare providers can properly evaluate what happened and determine if any adjustments are needed for future treatments. Hopefully others here will share their experiences to help you feel less alone in dealing with this.
