Hi Marie!
My port area did the same thing for a while. I finally decided it must be something "inside" (I know absolutely nothing about how it works) that was adjusting or something. But it finally stopped. I had forgotten about it until I read your message!
I do herceptin every 3 weeks, but I'm 3 1/4 hours away; so maybe that's why. I works well for me and lets me be a "regular" gal for a while before going back again! I'm working hard to stay on it "forever" so this is a good schedule for me. ma
