Hi Hadit
I am in Scotland - Port has never been mentioned. Treatment 3 weekly and not weekly so that might also be reason. Veins still ok but I think if they can't cope then a port is possible.
At the moment I only need IV 6 weekly when getting Zometa as Herceptin now given 3 weekly by injection into thigh.
Yes - I will be on treatment for life. The worry here is that not all suitable drugs are made available to you. I have already had Doxetaxol, Perjeta (a trial drug here) and currently on Xeloda.Herceptin and Zometa. Hoping Xeloda & Herceptin continue to work!

Take care

Julie
