Accepted Answer
Getting used to sleeping with a port and managing all the new information that comes with a diagnosis can feel overwhelming - these are common challenges that many people in this community have faced. Consider asking your care team about comfortable sleeping positions with your port, and don't hesitate to write down questions as they come up so you can discuss them at your next appointment when there's less information to process at once.
