I had my port removed this morning. It was insterted a year ago, soon after my mastectomy and sentinel node biopsy. I then had six months of chemo and several additional months of herceptin alone. I too had to stop the herceptin because my LVEF kept dropping, although never below 50. Since the LVEF did not recover after a break, my oncologist felt that the herceptin had to be stopped permanently, thus there was no need for the port.

I never minded the port but am glad that one more part of this is behind me.
