I’ve reached another milestone in my cancer experience. On June 30th, I got my port removed. It was an in office procedure, unlike the OR visit I required to get it in. A bit of lidocaine and I didn’t feel a thing! Because it was a foreign body, a pocket was formed around it and had to be removed as well. It decreases the risk of a seroma (fluid filled pocket under the skin).
It is just another checkbox off my list. Now it’s a daily pill of Tamoxifen and scans every year for 10 years to keep the cancer away!
