How long did you have it in? How long after chemo did they take it out?
....just wondering what the norm is for having it taken out.
I had it in for almost six months and it was about 5 weeks out of chemo before they took it out. I am up this early because this sucker is hurting me so bad. I don't remember having it hurt so when I had it put in, but wow, I can feel every cut or mussel that they decided they wanted to use. I haven't taken a pain pill in about two months, so once again I'm taking something. It's just throbbing and I hate that. I can imagine Kathryn going through what she is going through. Oh well, this is a good pain.0 -

That you got your port out, but hate to hear you're in pain, I would have demanded being sedated, I can't be up for those kind of procedures, I been known to attack under pain LOL..
Just take it day by day, and hopefully the pain will ease each day! at least the last reminder of the cancer is gone
Hugsss!

Yeah No Medi Port
Hi Kim,
I am so happy for you to get that darn mediport out. I was thin like you and I remember feeling that thing every move I made. I finally had them take it out after four months. So the next 8 months I just was just a pin cushion. I even got stuck 16 times by one nurse trying to start an I V at the ER after chemo. The small town I lived in at the time on had one nurse on duty and they had to call the dr. in. Crazy huh!! Anyway, it will probably be a little sore, but just like before take it easy on the side of your port and rest. I hope it feels a little better today! Hugs and best wishes, Goofyladie (Cass)0 -
