Port is out!
I got my port out yesterday, ouch! A little more painful then putting it in. Found myself getting teary eyed realizing that I am now on my own (except for tamax). Dr let me keep it for my scrap book, I think all the nurses thought I was crazy, but I had it with me for a year, kind of attached to it. Here's to the next stage of moving on, hopefully with less tears.
