Hi Bonnie, I also finished Herceptin in July. I was anxious to get the port out and finally did a month ago. It was like having my binkie taken away-what if I needed it again? I kept telling myself that getting it out would help me put this phase behind me and wouldn't have the constant reminder of the pain (lifesaving of course) that went through the port.
So now a month out, I feel great-just a little lingering around the site-psychologically it is very liberating. If I ever need it again, I'll have another popped in.
Good luck tomorrow

Henny
