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 ...
Hi Jane
Thankyou for your information it is really comforting to know that you have had such a positive experience with your porta cath. I was feeling a bit aprehensive after talking with the surgeon and having him explain what can go wrong during surgery (as they have to for legal reasons) I said to him am I doing the right thing and he said definately. I am sure it will make chemo a lot easier and quicker not having to find the veins each time. My very best wishes to you on your journey.
Wendy
