Thank you for that information. My surgeon will put the port in prior to me starting chemo. I am surprised that they do not give you that option prior to surgery as they seem to already have a good diagnosis at time of biopsy prior to surgery. Did not even know to ask that question at the time, but surgeon says it is a quick procedure and he is a great surgeon. How long do they typically wait after putting in the port to start chemo??? Does anyone know. And do you have to ask for the numbing agent or is that a given for everyone going through chemo? When you say a year after chemo does that mean also after the Herceptin if given and that they flush it for a year??? I'm not sure I understand.
