The time has come to say goodbye to my port and our love hate relationship
Hi all. I am celebrating NED at the 2 yr mark. Now my onc says I can and should remove my port. I feel both happy and sad about this. I thought I had another 12 months with it but alas no. A small par...
Hey @wendy_h67 even though I had a few issues with mine (it flipped and needed second surgery and it got blocked about 6 times) I am still very very very glad I got it.
hey Christine @iserbrown , I am not on the forum as much these days weekly rather than daily. Guess it's a sign that life is getting back to my new normal. Hope all is well with you.
Hi Cath @socoda Not planning on celebrating much. Just grateful things are moving on. When I think about how much of a mess I was when I was first diagnosed and then going through treatment, I shudder. Now things are soooooooooo much better. Still bloody frustrating at times with joint pain and hot flushes, but better.
Good to know about the tape @onemargie . I've already had two incisions on the same spot for my port - the first to get it inserted and the second to fix it after it had flipped. This will be the third incision. So far the 1 inch scar is flat and a little indented. After putting bio oil on it for 18 months I hardly notice it. I hope it doesn't look too bad after being cut for a third time.
Those 9 sessions will go quick @MKitty68 !
