Hi Ruth,
I had my port removed this past Thursday (it was in since June). I am small and thin and mine was very close to the skin, but I was told by the nurse that this is so the port doesn't get too embedded in the muscle and is easier to extricate when it needs to be removed and it's easier for the nurses to administer the chemo. My veins must have a lot of scar tissue or I'm a hard stick like some of the others have mentioned after I had the FAC in my veins Feb.-May. I decided to have it removed since this was the end of my treatment and to "get myself and my body back." I must say that having the port was wonderful and I wish I had done it first thing before I started chemo, but we learn as we go along.
