take off port or not?

if herceptin is completed, should i take the port out. On the negative side, I'm scared that this will come back and will have to get it placed back in.

the doctor says i should take it out to avoid infection but I know of several women with ports for over a year without problems. the hassle of course is to have it flushed but it would be so much easier to keep it and to get regular blood draws from there ( every 3 months right now for me)

apprecaite your opinion

XOXO
