Hello!

Has anyone experienced their chemo port scar suddenly retracting? Mine is 2 years old and a "dip" has appeared smack in the middle of it...??

    Yes, I have the exact same thing.  Mine is out almost 2 yrs as well.  I can feel the slight "dip" with my hand and if I stand at a specific angle (my body turned a bit to the left or right in front of a mirror), it can be seen.  It is a slight indent, not very deep at all.  My onc said not to worry about it, as with any surgery, things will settle in time, as this has done.  I feel no pain or sensitivity whatsoever and my scar is straight and clean looking. Hope this helps.

    Linda
