Thanks again for your support everyone. Wednesday I had my fourth infusion and they still couldn't use the port because it was still open, oozy and a bit red. So yesterday my PS looked it over and said it's not really infected but he would clean it up and put in a couple of stitches ("on the house" - he's so generous, fixing someone else's mistake.) After cleaning it, he held up a tweezer and showed me a thick curly brown thread and said, "THIS is why your port incision wouldn't heal! Something was left in there!" I was so grossed out - and feel so upset with the interventional radiologist who put it in! I'm not sure how to go about complaining about him - possibly I'll call my oncologist and ask him (he referred me to this radiologist). Anyway, I hope the incision will heal up quickly now so they can use the port for my next infusion in two weeks.
