Port
Hi Linda,
As far as I understand different hospitals sedate patients in different ways before a port is inserted. I don't think I was sedated - they only uesd local anesthesia.
The operation didn't hurt at all but since my platelets are dysfunctional I bled much even though I had received platelets. This meant that it was impossible to start to use the port at once.
I have now had the port 5.5 years without any problems.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
