I saw my oncologist today for my 3 month check up. It's been one year since I had my last Herceptin. I once again asked if I could get my port out. I ask every time I see him. He said no after asking me if it was bothering me (it isn't). I've been receiving a PET scan every 6 months since I was diagnosed (July 2011) and I have to have another one in November. My oncologist is the greatest but today he had a student with him and he talked about me as if I wasn't even there. He said I was highly at risk for my cancer to return (didn't say that to me but to the student). I guess I kind of figured that out since he wouldn't let me have my port out and with doing a PET scan every 6 months but hearing him say that kind of scared me. So guess I am just writing for any reassurance. I know there's no guarantees but I really didn't need to hear that. I'm scared enough as it is. Oh well..............it is what it is. Thanks all for listening.
