Porta cath
Hi everyone l have such bad veins . I am going to get a porta Cath next week. Chemo starts on the 19 th of Feb . I’m getting anxious . There is so much info for me to remember. Dreading side effects...
Can anyone tell me how long after treatment is finished that the portacath stays in. The surgeon advised 12 months, I was also told that if you have a recurrence that they can't put it back in the same spot. Also has anyone had trouble going through security at airports with it.
