I got the lab work back and it is a staph infection. Nothing gets done till this is all clear now. Though from what the nurse said, you always have the staph in your system and have to be very careful from here on out? My problem is the port must heal first and it is really an ugly sight. I intend to write a letter to the staff and just let them know how I felt and was affected by my treatment - not naming names but trying to get them to see how it looks from the patients side. The chemo Dr. there decided without examining me that it was nothing and he apologised. The cancer center I went to second was where the port was installed. It was not a surgeon who placed it but a radiologist. I guess he didn't have the qualifications to remove it? Not sure what all the politics are but boy was I sick and did I ever feel neglected. Now I am recovering and had tons of antibiotics. Sure would like to know where this came from and how and if I can prevent it happening again!! any ideas anyone?
