Steph, I think you posted about your problem with your port the day that some threads got lost. I had a question about the fibrin you said was on the end as well as the loop in the catheter. My catheter is also looped. We have never been able to get blood out, even with TPA. Then during my 2nd from last infusion of Herceptin I began having pretty severe pain from the infusion.
My port has only been in since 4/25/05 and had always worked well for infusion until it started hurting. I had my last 3 infusions I.V. with no problem and my port is being removed Monday. However I am curious as to why it looped and also about the fibrin. I figured you might have gotten some answers to this from your treatment center.
Thanks for any input you may have.
