To keep the port, or not to keep it???

I have written about the port already before. It was an extremely uncomfortable experience having it put in. Since I have "gotten used" to it. I can do most daily activities without a problem. Most, not all. Yoga exercises are sometimes an issue, carrying a backpack is uncomfortable...but I manage. Anyways, now that treatment is over I have to decide whether to keep it in or not!

Why would you keep it? Well, worst case scenario, I am back at the Doctor's in a year or two because I found "something", should I need chemo again, they would recommend me a port again...

The reasons for getting it out are obvious!

What to do? What to do?
