Here goes.....I had a hard time adjusting to my port it was probably six months until it didn't bother me anymore. I had it put in before my second AC and then by the third it was infected at the incision and couldn't be used for the third treatment. But used it the fourth and all the taxotere treatments and now all the herceptin infusions.

This is much shorter than what I had written before.

But everyone is different and I don't think there is a right or wrong choice. Some at my oncs office have ports and some do not. It seems like most of the breast cancer patients have ports and of course I don't see or know all of them since I usually only go on Tuesdays. I am speaking of the ones that I see which would be about 7 of them and all have ports.
Even though mine has given me trouble and isn't placed exactly perfectly I am still happy to have it.
