Dear Sheeta34,
Let this be a welcome blog for Dr Reshma Palep
You can ask your query in a separate entry perhaps.
Pls consult your Medical & Surgical Oncologist who have inserted the PORT.
The PORT needs to come out as per the advice from your surgeon.
At times, when surgeons decide to keep the PORT in, you need to be very carefully evaluated regularly.
