On the 16th of July, 2 days ago my port-a-cath was removed from my body. It is pretty easy procedure as compared to putting one in.
My procedure was scheduled at 2 PM. I reached there an hour early for blood tests. The white cells have started to come back up, they were 5.2. Everything was normal except HB which was just a little low at 126. They started the procedure to remove the port on time and I was awake all the time during this talking to the doctor and the nurses there. It took about half an hour lying there. They had me sitting there for a while after that to make sure everything is OK and then let me go. All this happened under local anesthesia.
The stiches will come off after 10 days. I have been told that my local GP can do that.
