Hi there @Nadi I was lucky enough to have my portacath out a couple weeks after I had finished my chemo. I had triple neg bc and I was so glad to get it out. I lost a heap of weight during chemo which was nice but the bloody thing stuck out like a second head so was glad to see it out. Get yourself some silicone tape to put on the site it will reduce your scarring and help it heal. You can get it from an online store called independence Australia and it comes in a roll. I think it was around $10 ?? We use it at work all the time and I used it on my portacath site and still do as I got a keloid scar but I didn’t find out about it until this job I’m at now. it has made a significant difference. It’s funny as my mastectomy scars are awesome. Margie. Xx
