What to do if the drainage tube becomes clogged. Calling the doctor's office didn't help, they just told me what was in the handouts. Surely I'm not the only one who had a clog at the connection between the tube and the bulb and couldn't get it out????

As an RN and survivor think about visiting ER in hospital where surgery was done

I was thinking about it when we solved it ourselves, but it was an infection risk and it would have been safer to have it done in the ER.

I agree. I just finished my radiation treatments and the fatique is just terrible. The nurse told me that in about another week I should start to feel better.
