As one who has had a port taken out and then put back in - I am keeping mine for awhile! It just makes sence to me. I had an infection in my port in the last few months of therapy but because my veins were so bad decided to go ahead and put another back in. I was hoping to stay on Herceptin a little longer but even so - I am glad I still have it. I look at it as insurance.
