I had mine removed fairly soon after I completed my initial chemo. Six months later I was diagnosed with mets and had to have it placed again. It was really no big deal to have it put in a second time and, like so many of the others, I'd rather they draw blood from the port than my arm and I have good veins.

Knowing what I know now, I would still have had it removed the first time because it was so easy to place again.
