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.
