I have had two different kinds of muga scans. At two different places. One place refuses to use it and the other depends on if there is a nurse who can come and access it. I have a power port. I have had a few surgeries that they refused to use it during as well. They told me as long as I was getting herceptin they did not want to stick it, since each time you do you increase the risk of infection. To me this is silly. Once I'm done with herceptin they take it out. Why do you have a port that can be used for anything if the pros won't use it?
