Thats a question for your doctor. Who knows if she will need the port in the future? I have been on chemo for 17 months now and am on my thrid different type of drugs. I am thankful for the port. Only one little pick for both the blood draw and infusion. How long before she receives a scan to determine how well the chemo did?
Wishing you and her the best, Danny Boy
