I want to get mine removed as soon as possible. ( I finish Herceptin in Dec.) I have had blod clots twice already, and if I will need it again I am sure there will be a super port that is even better than what I have now. The nurses don't like my port either, it's seems to lay on it's side to much and is inplanted really deep. After I got my port I asked me surgeon about riding roller coasters and hand gliding with it, he said go ahead and try it, but I don't know if I would feel that comfortable with a harness with all that force hitting my port area. I still might ride this summer with this port in. I don't now if I can go a whole summer with no Cedar Point thrill ride.
