Hi Beth, I was given Fluconazole tablets which I took for a couple of years.
On another note, I have had a port for over 4 years and I have never regretted having it inserted. I only wish the surgeon had implanted a dual lumen port instead of a single but I didn't know dual lumens were available at the time.
One of the benefits of a port is that when it's not being used there is no constant reminder that you are ill. When I had my PICC it was a constant reminder that I had something wrong, not just to me but to others too. Sometimes I think it's good for your mental health to be able to forget about illness sometimes and the port allows this.
Regards
Chirley
