I started getting my Herceptin and Zometa treatments in May of '05 thru an IV in my veins - after only 5 treatments I could no longer use my left arm - the veins didn't collapse (the drugs are not that caustic) but I scarred up so badly that the needle couldn't go through - I started using my right arm but I knew I only had a few treatments to go on that one. I got a port in November '05.
I hate the constant reminder that I have cancer BUT the treatments go faster with the port.
It's not a bad thing to have - I just hate the darn bump on my chest
