I am on my 2nd port. I requested the 1st one be removed after my original diagnosis and treatment. I figured I wouldn't need it anymore. The mets showed up in my left lung just a few months after taking out port #1. So I had port #2 placed and it's the only way to go. I have had no trouble with either port. My onc has had me take 1 mg of coumadin (warfarin) everyday while I'm on chemo - for about the last 2 years straight. I don't believe I've had any negative side effects from this. Sometimes, when you're on so many drugs, it's hard to tell what chemical is causing what side effect. Hope this helps.
