Patient Reviews
Mar 18, 2026
I’m 60 and these two procedures in 2025 were my first ever One was a lymph node removal from the neck that was outpatient at Erlanger East. I had no pain or discomfort afterwards and it healed up very nicely. Second procedure was to put in a port for chemo. No discomfort or pain afterwards. I know more now about port placement and mine is perfectly placed right side upper chest. My concern after this procedure was would I be able to sleep on my stomach and within 48 hours I was back sleeping however I wanted to My experience with both procedures was without issues so feel very blessed that I was referred to Dr Cockerham
