Hated it. I have veins that I think could have survived anything thrown at them. They tell you the advantage of ports is you can everthing done from it. Only onc nurses are trained to use them and they aren't there for all the other tests. They only used mine once for anything besides infusion.

Get Echos instead of MUGAS, one less stick.

Herceptin isn't caustic, but if it takes hours to find a vein, maybe you would benefit from a new port somewhere else. My 2 cents, BB
