It is a tough one - but the chemo is VERY hard on your veins. I didn't have a port offered so had A/C in my one good arm. After treatment it was almost impossible to find a vein and when they did they couldn't get much blood out. I finally demanded a port when they started talking about sticking me in the neck or my "bad" arm! My port got a mysterious staph infection after 8 months of working great. Had to be removed and now I am agonizing over having another, my veins have recovered enough so that my Herceptin treatments haven't been too hard. I never got used to having a needle poked through my chest.... but I have another year of Herceptin sooooo - I will probably get another port. sigh....
