Glad your port worked!
A possibility to flirt helps the overall infusion eh? Lol
I see my fav IR Radiologist the day before next infusion to check the port.
I feel less anxious now and they can do the peripheral draw.
I cant fathom a new placement and hopefully that wont be the case....
:-)
Hope you are felling well after treatment.
Yeah, I'm absolutely shameless when it comes to flirtation. As for the blood draw, because of how slow the flow was compounded with a low anion gap and a high chloride count, I'm thinking it's a hydration issue. Reckon I'm going to have to start drinking more Gatorade to help resolve that. In my case, I'm betting that getting more hydration will help with the blood return through my port.0
