Re: Port Problems
I was just released from emergency hospitalization. The catheter of my PowerPort self-extracted from the initial location in the subclavian vein and after twisting itself around reinserted itself into my jugular vein, causing a complete thrombus obstruction. The port was surgically removed after treatment for the thrombus was started.
Needless to say now I face 90 days of blood thinners and healing before chemo can restart for a stage IV colon tumor.
