Goodbye Dear Port

I just had my ovaries and tubes removed this week and lots of people have been asking am I really excited?? Am I relieved its all over etc... but it’s not. I have 4 more herceptin infusions and my treatment is not done in my head until I have my port removed. I have become strangely attached to it (excuse the pun!) When my oncologist said he wants it removed as soon as my last herceptin is done because he believes I won’t need it again I broke down!! Was delighted and completely terrified all at the same time. For a start it means “active” treatment is over so you’re on your own and then you think what if it comes back and I need it again......   it’s another step of being a survivor. You are such a strong, amazing woman and have been such an amazing support to me personally probably without even realising it! I love reading your responses and advice. You are such a beautiful soul. So get excited this it HUGE!!! Wishing you all the best and sending big love your way xxxx
