Port for Herceptin

Hi everyone. I am starting 2 years of Herceptin and am getting a portacath/infusaport(under the skin) put in on Friday. I assumed it would go above my good breast but my nurse friend told me that people find their bra straps rub it and it gets uncomfortable. She said that some women get them inserted next to their breast on the side, sort of below the armpit.
Has anyone got any opinions? I'd appreciate them.
Christine
