I felt so bad the poor nurses cannulating and sensing my feelings about it. I said so many times I’m not angry at you I’m angry at myself for not pushing a port further!
I of all people understood the risks of a port and decided to be the patient and not the nurse.
But there is no way I’m ruining the small flat veins I have and being cannulated for over an hour each fortnight!!! They wanted to do a PICC due to less time needed, but I feel more comfortable about a port.
Heres to us knowing our bodies and saying what we need to make this life with breast cancer as good as possible.
