Nicola,

For the port, my nurse prescribed a numbing cream, which I put on about an hour before my treatment. I use it everytime I have chemo and I can't feel a thing, so ask your doctor about it for your next treatment.

As far as the drugs go, Taxol gave me bone pain, but I had it every two weeks, not weekly, so my dose was bigger than the one you will be getting. The only problem I have with Herceptin, is mild fatigue the next day.

Best of luck to you. I just know you are going to do well and have great success with these drugs.

Karen
