Barbara2,
My port was implanted on April 25, 2005 and I was taking Coumadin. I have wet macular degeneration in my left eye and am in a clinical trial for a drug that treats the non-affected eye (or not) to determine if the drug can prevent the disease from occuring in that eye. One of the no-no's for the trial is to be on Coumadin and in fact the hemorrhaging in my left eye had worsened most likely due to the coumadin. My oncologist said many things can cause blod clots and that he did not feel coumadin was necessary and he stopped it so I could continue in the trial. My port was removed on August 14, 2006 when I finished my year of Herceptin.
