Had my chemo port removed today. Very fast procedure, much simpler than when it went in (which was general surgery).
Although it's local anaesthetic and painless I'd almost rather be asleep. The imagination is much worse than what is actually taking place. The weird sensations of tugging and pressure and the doctor's head just above your chest.
@lnxw48a1 Thanks. I've been disease free for just over a year now. They leave the port in for a while just in case.

@andyc I can totally relate. Mine was in a year longer than I really needed it. They offered to take it out six months ago but I got a bit silly and superstitious so wanted to leave it.

@andyc But serious illness does some funny things to your perspective. People don't understand.
