Porta Cath
I am Wendy, 53 years of age from North East Victoria and this is my first time writing a blog. I had a Masectomy and axillary clearance in February 2011 and have been undergoing chemo every 3 weeks ...

I had my portacath installed a week before starting chemo. It s the best thing i have done so far. It was inserted while i was under general anesthetic. No way was I only having local. The Oncology nurses love portacaths and not hunting for veins. I have finished my chemo and am now getting herceptin every three weeks for one year. So I will have it for a while yet. You can have it in place for up to 5 years. I hope it all goes well for you.
Cheers
