Smile in out in out..

I get my port out the end of May for the 2nd time! I got a staph infection in it and had to remove it. My veins were so bad after having AC put through them that the nurses insisted I get another port asap. Well - now that I am coming up on my 3 yr NED celebration I figure its time to get it out again. My new oncologist (I moved) says that we will probaby do an oral chemo if my cancer did return - so it isn't neccessary. Looking forward to being free of that weird lump in my chest!
