Port Question

[pattyz]

Vicki,

I had the same problem as Marlys: my port was great for INfusions, but would not do any OUTfusions! ie: blood draws. big bummer!

I wanted to tell you that I, too, was stabbed, dug at and screamed at the Onco nurse who was taking a blood draw from vein. I should truthfully say, I also swore. Told her to stop, which she would not. Of all procedures, this was one of the worst of the past five years....

So, I understand and I'm so sorry it happened to you, too.
Lots of hugs,
pattyz
