My Dr checked my Port and said it is ok, it can be removed if it becomes too uncomfortable. But it has settled down, must have been from having my arms in the air when I went in for the Rad markers. It was indicated I may be keeping it for up to 2 years..... but its up to my Oncologist/Radiaologist when it will come out. Being triple negative, I got the idea that they leave it in to see how you go! But I will have to speak to the Dr. before I assume that. Flushing it out every 6 weeks......after Id insisted on having it numbed every Chemo day....might have to toughen up.
