I had a lot of discomfort from my port for about a month after it was "installed" :-) It finally resolved on its own.
I started with herceptin on the 3 week cycle, but I got so much joint pain that I decided to go on it weekly. The smaller dose is supposed to help with the joint achiness - it certainly has for me. It is much better now.
