A wandering Portacath

Hi all

Just wondered if anyone has been in the situation I’m now in.

My Portacath is working perfectly well and doesn’t give me any discomfort.

The problem is that it is getting harder and harder for the nurses to find; it’s been put in my reconstructed breast and it’s well and truly buried. I’ve been told that if they have trouble locating again this week, it’s going to be resited.

Has anyone else had this done? Was it a GA or just sedation?

I’d be grateful to hear of anyone else’s experiences in a similar situation.

Thanks!
