Guest guest Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Lizzie, I didn't have a port but I think it depends on the person and also what the dr recommends. I haven't know ladies that have kept theirs for several years.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Lizzie, You should be meeting with your oncologist to discuss what happens next. Usually after chemo they'll run some scans or do tests to figure out if the cancer is gone. If any of the tests involves IVs or shots, your port would remain in until after those tests, unless it's really bothering you. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
