I wish I had gotten a port; my onc never thought it was necessary as I only had 4 A/C and at that point, I was thankful for no more procedures; however, I'm now over 5 years out and have horrible veins. Labwork can only be done with a butterfly and an experienced phlebotomist and it is very painful when the needle is withdrawn. I never had any issues with my veins prior to chemo - always big and accommodating and I guess that's why my onc suggested no port.
