Hi Milwif,
So sorry for your disappointment.
I had similar troubles. I'm a 2 hour drive to my post op care doc. I went at 6 weeks post-op and he didn't fill because my incisions weren't totally healed yet
I went back in 2 weeks and he stuck me alot and it hurt and didn't find the port.
They set me up to try again in 2 weeks. I called back the next Monday and said I didn't want to go through that again so I wanted it under flouro.
I thought that was setup till they did the reminder call the day before my appointment. I asked where I needed to go since it was going to be under fluoro.
Nope, no fluoro possible till Dec 9th.
I lost it at that point, that's 15 weeks post op.
I called my surgeon and they could take me this week, but I couldn't afford the air fare/ ground/ and hospital charge.
I found another doctor that could see me in 2 weeks. Also big bucks to start over.
What a mess
I was so upset and conflicted that my financee called the office of the original appointment and talked with the PA. She was pretty confident she could fill it. So he convinced me to go to my appointment.
I was stressed out driving there but she FOUND the PORT and gave me my first fill.
I am so thankful,
MaggieGT
