I am having only Herceptin for a year. I had a port below my collarbone with chemo but it has been out for 9 months. I chose not to have one put back in. I had it on my treatment side because it would not stay in my chest during installation on the unaffected side. The surgeon said it was due to my anatomy? Herceptin does not seem to affect the veins so you could probably do without a port unless you have a problem getting IV's started. I found the port uncomfortable but not painful.
