After reading your post I tend to agree with Becky. I also did all 4 dose dense A/C - 4 dose dense taxol along with herceptin and herceptin continuing for 1 year all in my left arm veins. We were fortunate Becky. I didn't want a port and my onc. was totally fine with that. Most definitely an infection could have come from any source. Definitely not only the port area. I sure hope you feel better quickly and this does not happen to you again.

Becky, question for you after reading your post. What is osteopenia and what is Zometa? Hope all is well.

Hugs to you Pat and Becky,

Mary Jo
