| Dear Linda2,I completed my one year of weekly Herceptin July 18th,2006.My Onc advised me to keep my port in for 6mo-1 year. I was taken aback, and felt the same way as you do now.However, its been 6 mo. and I get it flushed every 6 weeks and to tell you the truth I sometimes forget its there! They forgot to schedule my last flush ahead of time and in a panic I called and they got me in Dec22nd ,just at my six week mark...shessshh!
 Hope this makes you feel abit more comfortable with keeping it for awhile!
 
 Marcia
