I was never even told about a port. I didn't even know what they were. I always used my veins. There were a few problems with the AC treatments but there are only 4 of them. I only have 3 more Herceptin treatments and I will be at 2 yrs post diagnosis so we will stop then.

I think if anything else happens, I would get a port since I would be on Herceptin for life and on/off chemo.

I am glad not to have it though.
