I had a port with the first onc that I went to and when I quit him my surgeon removed the port. And then I did rads and switched to a new onc, where I did more chemo and herceptin. I never got another port put back in and was very lucky that I never really had any problems with them finding veins. There was only once they had big problems when it was a different nurse and she just wasn't getting it. A lady I didn't know who was there with her daughter came over and held my hand because she hated seeing me go through that. Still took a few pokes but I was more relaxed. I am so glad so many of you don't have problems with your ports. I hated mine. It was really uncomfortable and I was very conscious(sp?) of it. And the nurses at that oncs office could never access it unless I was laying back almost on my head.
