I too have left my port in. It has been in 4 years now. I asked the chemo nurses how long they have seen someone coming in just for a port flush. They told me of a pt. that had one for 10 years. I too am a hard stick and even though I only go 2 times a year its nice for that. The maintence of flushing it every 6 - 8 weeks is a pain in some ways but it also gives me an extra chance to ask questions. Hope this helps.
