    Power Port Removal

    So glad that this topic was posted.  I was fully awake when they put mine in, Oct 2018. the port has been a constant state of pain for me.  I am so looking forward to having it taken out.  When I go in for the lumpectomy the surgeon said she will take the port out, so I will be knocked out.  I wish that I was asleep when they put it in.   Hoping for the best on the removal and hoping that the pain will finally stop.
