Hi,
I had a port put in below my left collarbone the day I had my first chemo in September 2004. The surgeon left the needle in so I could go down to chemo and get my infusion without the nurse having to access the port. It is so easy with a port. I took Coumadin for about six months but my oncologsit said it was not necessary to take it anymore. It will be two years in Spetember since I had it put in and my oncologist has advised me to keep it in for at least two more years. I will have to go once a month and have it flushed after I finish my weekly Herceptins in two weeks. It has not bothered me at all.
