Val, the port saved my arm and my sanity. With the use of only one arm for this kind of thing, I wanted to save my veins for other times I might need them--like when I am 90 years old. I won't even let them use the automatic blood pressure cuff as it can cause numbness in my arm for several days. My port is quite prominent so I am deciding now, after my one year of Herceptin, when to take it out. I may wait until I am two years past diagnois which would be the end of this year.
