Port Question

I go weekly for my Herceptin Infusion. I have bloodwork once a month and see Onc at this time as well.

WELL, today when they stuck the needle in my vein (new girl) for blood draw,
I screamed, it hurt so bad, and to make matters worse she kept moving the needle in my arm. I have NEVER had so much pain on getting blood drawn,
They think she may have hit a nerve. Has this ever happened to anyone?
My arm still hurts really bad, I did look at her and told she was never going to draw my blood again.

SOOO---- I guess my actual question is, how many of you have your blood draws from the port? I'm thinking after today I may want to have it done this way.
