Yes, it is easy to have your port removed. I had mine out after a year of Herceptin. Easily done in the office with a few stiches. Did not even really hurt. I have sort of an ugly scar, but I am glad it is gone. Hoping, I never need another one. I am lucky that I have good veins on my good arm. I hope it goes smoothly for you. I think you will be glad it is gone, I am glad mine is gone.
Good luck, Catherine
