Thank you all for responding to my concerns. I didn't even think of the marker tests done every three months...my veins started rolling after A/C and they wouldn't cooperate. Has anyone had experience with veins improving?
I just wish that the port wouldn't protrude as much as it does. When I say it sticks out - I mean it REALLY sticks out! I am thinking of reconstruction surgery perhaps in 2005 or 2006 and then that might be a good time to take it out. I have been leaning towards leaving it in for at least for 2 years following ending chemo treatment.
Again, thank you all so very much!
Ruth
