courage!! This is not a big deal at all compared to what you went through. Believe me, if you do not NEED it any longer you will feel a lot better when it is gone! It is over in seconds and yes the idea of just yanking it out is strange. If you are concerned take some pain killers beforehand. (you probably have some left over from the radiation treatments?)
