Attempted portacath insertion
Hi ladies,
Yesterday I went in for my portacath insertion. I came out with two wounds and no portacath = one very disappointed woman.
They told me my veins were too small, and I am petite so they will look to try again with a radiologist or something to guide them.
Has anyone had this happen? Did you end up with a PIC line instead?
Not looking forward to my 3rd surgery in 2 weeks but need this done before starting chemo next week.

Agh! No I haven't. I don't envy you at all. Sounds like you're headed for scans or something with a radiologist. :( I really hope it's sorted out quickly and not so damn painfully next time.
