My port was removed last week because it never healed properly since it was installed (back in April.) I'm so happy it's gone - the incision in my chest is finally closed, and it looks good that I can return to my swimming - I just need the final OK from my PS next Monday! I'm still getting Navelbine and Herceptin every two weeks - no problems finding a vein in my left arm however, my arm feels heavy and painful for about a week after the infusion. The pain I control with Advil.......so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the veins last until the end of August when I'm finished with the Navelbine. I do NOT want another port installed - with more healing problems and yet another scar!
