My partner has a problem with her vein's becoming very hard to access when she " go's low ", She is a diabetic and has a lot of trouble maintaining good blood suger levels. So she has been advised that a porta-cath would be a good idea. Not knowing much about them I thought I would ask the people here if they could supply us with some information about them. What are they, what do they look like, the best way to look after them, the risk's etc ... well thanks in advance. Themis
