OMG Nadi, I feel for you but you need to be in hospital with fever like that. They should not have allowed you home if temp didn't drop. Ok as for the port, I have a picc line due to my veins collapsing when admitted to ER for 0 neutrophils. But when it was time for bloods for next chemo I went to pathology and they said sorry can't do bloods from picc line but need veins. I said no freaking way I didn't go through shit for a picc line for you to prick a vein again. So I left, rang chemo dept told them and said sort it out cause I want bloods from picc line thats what is there for.
So you go back to ER and you DEMAND that no one touches your veins, you tell them you make sure a nurse who knows what they are doing take your blood from port. Don't allow them to dictate to you - you tell them what you want.
I'm so sorry that you are feeling like this, yes this SUCKS BIG TIME!!!!
