Attempted portacath insertion

Hi Ladies, thanks for all of your feedback. The hospital I had the original attempt in didn't have the ability for radiology involvement - new hospital. So I went in on Thursday to Mater South Brisbane and had the head of radiology do the procedure. To say I was anxious was an understatement, I felt sick, had tears, shaking and generally overwhelmed.

But very happy to report second time round was a success. Yes very sore where the port is and my other shoulder where the failed attempt was made. But overall bounced back well as only had a twightlight anaesthetic. 

I start chemo Monday but they may not use the port for the first cycle, not sure what else they will use as my hand is badly bruised and my elbow has been pretty overused. But they are the experts and it's all part of this journey.

hugs to you all xxx
