Re: My port is out!

Wooohooo for you, Helen! Congrats for completeing your tratment plan!

My port will be out soon too in my doctor's office. Did you watch the procedure? How long did it take? Was there much bleeding?

I wonder why some doctors take them out under general anesthetic when it can be done under a local in the doctor's office. Maybe some people would be grossed out and rather be asleep. Do you guys figure it's equally safe either way?
