Port Removal

I will definitely have IV sedation when I have to have my port
removed. But as I have always said, I want to keep my port for the rest of my life. I have no veins, my port doesn't show and I don't even know it's there. But what a blessing for blood tests etc.

But when that time comes, I will request (and insist) upon IV sedation. No doctors office under local for me. I am a chicken and I feel we suffer enough with all the pokes and jabs etc. with bc and the less pain and less fear I have to have is a blessing. My surgeon is wonderful and totally understanding.

Good luck ladies on may 7th, Keep us posted how it went.

PORT OUT
Hi Skeezie

I can totally relate to you having port out. Please pull up my user name and read my
story about being ported out. I did get mine out in the doctors office but it stressed
me out so bad, the week they took stitches out (5) I got herpes simplex in my left eye
so bad I'm under a eye specialist now. The area is still sore, ok my husband says to quit
whinning and I told him I had every right to considering what we all have been through.
He has been and always will be there for me. Always trying to put a smile on my face or
get a laugh out of me. I love him more than life itself. If not for him being by my side
I don't think I would be where I'm at today. Ok enough of that!!! (lol)
So I was in the same boat or (coop) with you when it comes to pokes and jabs. Enough already!!!! I wanted my port out because as of FEB 1ST I'm CANCER FREE and the port
reminded me of BC.
I hope everything goes well with you. I'll keep you in my prayers.

This cancer won the 1st battle and I won the 2nd but the war is not over for I will not
give up!!!
