Hi Laurie,
Congrats on getting your port out AND on getting to keep it! I had mine out a few months ago (finally, after 5 years) and wanted to keep it, too, but they told me "NO". Oh well. I'm happy it's out and I'm sure you feel the same way.

I'm happy for you Laurie. One step closer to normalcy. That is such a good feeling.

Sending gentle hugs tonight. Sweet dreams.
