Hi Ann; you know, if you're only getting Herceptin and no chemo, not having a port is perfectly ok. It's a personal choice. You can always change your mind later.

The reason I got mine was because when I started Herceptin I also started Navelbine, which is notoriously hard on the veins. I've kept it ever since because being Stage IV I bounce on and off chemo and it's just easier for me because my veins are hard to access.
