Re: chemo port

I had the same experience. The nurse practitioner was shocked when I wanted to take my port out as soon as possible and wanted me to leave it longer just in case. Thankfully my doctor agreed I didn't need it any longer and it was removed a week after treatment. It's been over 10 years now and I have been thankful I had that reminder out, although I do have a scar and that's reminder enough.
