Hi all just joined currently going through chemo, I had an emergency operation on my bowel 2021 tumor found just above my appendix which had died and set up an abcess. That was followed by 4 rounds of chemo, the first scan was clear but the second showed a spot on myiver and right ovary. I had a second operation last December 2022 liver spot removed both ovaries removed and a further nodule on my diaphragm. Histology came back clear however further scan shows another spot on the diaphragm so I'm now having more chemo, iv plus coming home with a pump via a picc line. The picc line is proving to be a bit of a problem as it seems I don't like the cleaner or glue on the dressing but hopefully the hospital can sort it out. Sorry for the long ramble.
Hi loveyoga
I have a portacath. You could ask your oncologist or CSN whether it would be suitable for you.
