Congrats! Enjoy the moment. I had mine removed in November after having it 1 1/2 years. I lost a lot of weight since being diagnosed so it really poked out and was uncomfortable. The procedure was a piece of cake for me. I received the propofol so I was out of it and was sore for a couple of days. I was also thinking of getting a tattoo. I’m a big Pitt fan and a kid named James Conner was diagnosed with cancer while he was playing, beat it and was drafted by the Steelers. The kid was amazing. He would put crazy beast mode work outs in while receiving chemo. It was unbelievable. When interviewed he always said “fear is a choice” and he chose not to fear cancer. I just kept using that as a motivator and still do daily. Anyways long story longer, I wanted to get “fear is a choice” above my port scar.
