Medi-Port Removal

Was very pleasantly surprised that both the Radiation and Chemo docs agreed that my medi-port should be removed. When it went in, I was told to expect to keep it at least a year and maybe up to 3 years. both docs said it could do more harm than good at this point and to get it out, so they "ordered" the surgery. Got my call yesterday to schedule and was very, very surprised to learn this is an "office" procedure with only local anesthesia. I can drive myself there and back and should not expect to even need pain killers beyond Tylenol or Advil. So, I'm getting it done tomorrow -- Thursday -- at 9:00. Same doc who put in the port will be doing the removal. I can't wait to have this thing out of my chest -- it doesn't hurt, it doesn't even hardly bother me....it is just freaky! Good riddance.
