I had my 10th herceptin treatment on December 28 and no blood return. I was sended up to X-ray instead of valcular this time. I got the x-ray right away, but we had to wait a hour and a half b4 anyone looked at it. The onc nurses had to call 4 times b4 they got the ok to give me treatment. There for 4 hours to get a 30 minute treatment.

Spoke to the surgeon about the port problem on my last check up Dec 18 and she thought since I only had 8 treatments left it wouldn't be necessary to replace the port. I quess I will have to get an x-ray everytime b4 treatment. I have very bad veins, so an IV is out of the question.
