Hi everyone,
I mentioned this in my immunotherapy topic, but I thought maybe more people would see it if I started a new topic. My husband had his port catch put in Nov 15th. It healed pretty well. At least the skin looked closed. He had his first infusion Dec 1st. The 2nd day after the infusion the corner of the opening started leaking. By the next day a hole formed in the middle and started leaking. The next day another hole appeared and the first leak turned into a hole. They told us to put antibiotic cream and a bandage over it. The holes just kept getting bigger. By the time he went for his 2 nd infusion yesterday the holes were so big you could see the port clearly. They called a surgeon in and he removed it. He said it was basically coming out on its own. Has anyone experienced this? Could it have been the immunotherapy?
