Re: Removal of port

Msleslie, good to see you!!!
My port was removed in the surgeon's office. It was not painful. She numbed it, of course, and we chatted while she did the proceedure. I just recall a slight, brief tugging sensation and then it was over. As I mentioned earlier, I had fortified myself with a bit of Ativan first! Let us know what you decide
Keep the faith.
