port use
When I had my scan two weeks ago, they did not want to use my port because of the contrast. I think because of the fast infusion and the thickness of the substance. After three sticks they did not have a choice since they could not find my veins. They had to have the nurse come in and manually infuse the contrast, but it worked out okay. So he told me to go to oncology first next time and have them put the needle in and leave it for the scan and just let them know, that is the only way it's going to happen.
