Hi Bonnie,

I kept mine and still have it, but I have had BIG draws every 4 months as part of a trial to develop better markers for breast cancer and ovarian cancer. It hasn't been a problem and isn't inconvenient like yours is and in fact I rarely remember mine is there. But the last draw I had was difficult for the first time, and I may be having it removed. The flushes are an extra cost I don't need. I kept it originally because I have never had Herceptin and thought I might. Go get it out and then celebrate!
