Removing the port

Today I had my port removed in the Dr.'s office. I was worried before I went in but it was a very easy procedure. I will continue to have Rituxin in my good veins but no more port ever I hope!!!!!!! I had it in a year while battling NHL follicular lymphoma. Stage 3A. I feel very happy today and glad it is gone. SO if you are facing that it is very easy. I am having a blessed day:)
