Hi RanchGal. I had it done just a couple months after finding out my low energy levels was WM. (Feb of ‘25) After just my 1st blood cleansing I felt like a new person. I was told they normally do three cleansings, but I felt so good after two, they were able to discharge me. I have been like an energizer bunny since. Mine was through the jugular vein, which was a crazy process. Some discomfort when they were putting the catheter (yes…that’s what it’s called) into my neck. But then I had no trouble sleeping with it there and no issues up until when they went to remove it. And that’s when there was a lot more discomfort because it’s like my skin was starting to heal around it. But they put some lubrication on and was able to pull it right out. I was told if they have to do it again, they will use both my arms, and if it requires another procedure down the road, they will probably just put a port in my chest. You will be amazed at how good you feel. Best wishes to you!
