Alright, just got home from the hospital to have the stitches in my port taken out.
I had the port put in on march 21st. and they tried taking the stitches out twice already but it's not healing up on one side. it keeps pulling apart. so they put more stitches in, and i wait longer.
they say part of it is b/c i'm so thin, there's not alot of extra skin there. plus being a woman, the breast tissue makes it push up a little more. plus immediately getting chemo through it, making it less likely to heal.
so i went back in, and i'ts not infected or anything but it's just not healing.
so i have to go in tomorrow for them to take the port out all together!!!
fuuuuuccking shit (sorry, i try to sensor but i'm really pissed)
i have to get it taken out, and they're not going to put it back in right away, and i still have three more treatments. not to mention an additional 6 after surgery.
treatments i have to get in teh hospital nonetheless. and i have to get it through a PIC line now?!?!?!?!
life just isn't fucking fair at ALL
Have any of you guys had problems with ports? or had treatments through PIC lines?
