Getting my port out!

After three years of being CANCER FREE, I am FINALLY getting my port out! It feels so good to be able to say that I am over three years cancer free! At my last apt Dr. Grothey mentioned that he thought it was time to get it out. I am no longer using it and so it is time to get it out! I am getting it done at KU and am so excited to be getting it out! I no longer use it, and I have to get it flushed every 6 weeks. So there is much more risk for infection by keeping it and having to get it flushed rather than taking it out. Please say a prayer for me that everything goes smooth! I'm not anticipating any problems, but please keep me in your thoughts and prayers!
