I Finally Did It

[Yorkiegirl]

After having my Port in for 4 yrs. and 4 months, I finally had it removed today. I had wanted to keep it in up to my five year point, but I think it had other idea's as it was giving me some problems even with having it flushed every 6 weeks.

So I feel like I had my security blanket taken from me. But this feeling will pass I'm sure. It just seems so strange now.

Whoo Hoo! I'm getting mine out on Friday! Cannot wait to get that sucker out! Itchy!

Vicki,
Oh, how I would love to get my port removed after 5 1/2 years, but alas I'm still using it and as my Onc. said I will always need it.
Congratulations, though I know it must come with mixed feelings for you. I am happy for you and send you my love and support today as always.
Love from your sister, Vickie
