Well now; with stage III colo-rectal cancer I was told by my oncologist and his physician assistant that the chemo port (Smart port) is used to facilitate chemo and will be removed after chemotherapy has been completed . I had been reluctant to have the port installed for months prior to the installation but they kept telling me that the port would be removed probably six weeks to 3 months after chemo has been completed so initially I reluctantly agreed to have the port. It has been 19 months since the chemo was completed and they still refuse to have it removed . I am now subject to their endless tests, biopsies, MRI's, PET scans CT scans , MRD, liver ablation and radiation, and repeated port flushes every month along with blood jabs. I have been offered numerous positions of employment as an engineer and construction manager and consultant which I cannot accept; at 83 years of age I am still able to work. It would have been beneficial to work instead of sitting around the house making an absolute pest of myself with my wife. At my age I know I am now a "short timer" and with that in mind I feel that my remaining months or years should be spent enjoying life and being productive instead of being subservient to callous, insensitive, and deceitful medical personnel on a tangent to sustain their modus operandi. I feel that I have been lied to and my trust in the medical profession has receded to less than nothing. Sorry ,but honesty is the best policy ,and please; don't dare tell me that I am being vindictive or wrong in my assessment.
