in Colorectal Cancer #1
I had my port removed on Friday. It was the easist thing I've done yet. I was very nervous about being awake for it, but a couple of shots of local anesthesia and before I knew it it was over. Talked to the Doctor the whole time. I have disolvable stitches and it over!!

    Great news!
    Glad things went well! I may reconsider keeping my port in for a year as recommended by my ONC. My maintainance Port Flush went quite badly last time ( I ended up in the ER ) and I am not sure I want to go through the problems again.

    I finished Chem 5 months ago and am finishing up my follow up testing. How long did you keep your port in after finishing chemo?

    So Happy for you!

    Take Care,

    Congrats, may you never need one again. It is nice to not have to stare at that thing anymore isn't it and to be able to wear normal shirts again.

    Getting your port removed is
    Getting your port removed is cause for celebration! I was ecstatic when mine was taken out. It is as if they are saying that they don't think you need it anymore!
    Congrats to you!
