Port problem and question
I had my every 3 week herceptin 9 days ago. Been getting it since Nobember.
I have a double port and one has always worked better than the other, so they usually use the best one.
This time, the nurse accessed the one that doesn't work as well for blood drawls. She had some trouble getting it so for treatment, she accessed the other port but she left the needle in the other one with heparin till my infusion was done.
The next day I noticed what seemed like a wire to me, sticking out under my skin and running from my port up to my incision. It felt zig zaggy, too. Perhaps it wasn't but I was upset!!!!
I ended up going over to the hospital to the treatment room and the same nurse saw me and said this was not uncommon at all and she sees this all the time.
Is anyone here familiar with this or had this with their port? I would appreciate any input. Thanks!
