Hi MCS,
I had my port removed 6 months after completing H. I figured to be done with it. If I should ever need a new one, Oh Well - I will cross that bridge if I need to.
When the surgeon removed it, it was a relief! Although my port served me well, I was glad to get rid of it. Perhaps you may want to reconsider removing it if you are going to see your onc every 3 months for the blood draws... Wait till you get to the every six month check-ups, and then get it out. It kind of does provide a "security blanket" feeling. And it is more practical to leave it in indefinately... There must be a place nearer to you for flushing- it's just flushing and practically any onc office can do it. Save the 3rd month for your reg onc...
Take good care,
MTS (the other Maria)
