I had colon cancer stage 4 and had surgery and Chemo afterwards. In 2019 ,I preferred a port. I left it in after all the treatment was done as it did not give any discomfort. I left it in for 3 years, almost forgot I had it in. It was convenient for followup CTscans and MRI ‘s over the years instead of putting an IV in each time for the contrast fluid during the procedures. Now I don’t need it anymore. It was never a problem to have it in all these years.
All the best to you,
Margreet
