To keep my port, or not keep my port.... that is the question
Hi all. Twelve months ago I was diagnosed with grade 3, HER2+ BC with a high proliferation rate of 71%. Now I only have 3 lots of Herceptin to go and then I will finally end 12 months of treatment. ...
Thanks Paula. I have decided to keep it because quite frankly I really don't want another surgery just now even if it is a simple one. My oncologist told me that I will have it for 2 more years rather than 1 and I'm ok with that. As you say if it plays up I can get it out then. I had my first flush last week which went perfectly. I couldn't believe how quick it went. Good tip about saving up all your blood tests for a port flush! I will have to remember that.
