Has any ever had a problem with district nurse not turning up to remove a chemo pump should have had my removed Friday. Never turned up. Every time I rang different excuses. Not received the review. Is it dangerous to be left in

Hi. I would have thought that once any chemo has been discharged through your line there might be a danger of blood clotting in it. I wound ring your hospital and insist somebody comes round.

That might be the best way forward
