Hi, When I first recieved Chemo in 1999 I started out without a port. The first treatment, It took quite a few attempts to start the IV in my one good arm, and it was very painful. I had a port before my second treatment. It was great and I never regretted having it. When I was diagnosed last fall with a tumor on my Liver, I never thought twice about getting the port put back in and it has been working great for my chemo and weekly Herceptin. The veins in my right arm are small and very uncooperative. It is hard to get blood work done with out the port.
Have a great day.
Debbie
