I have found all of the above comments very helpful I have my Porta Cath appointment to have put in on 18th June. I willhave my first lot of chemo though a week before so will be via IV Yuk! I have hidden veins so am anxious about this. First dose Trastuzumab & Paclitaxel will be 3.5 hours not looking forward to this. I still have a hard time sleeping on my right side from lumpectomy then 5 weeks later re-excision BC in right breast! Now with a Porta Cath going in left side over heart gosh I need a third side hey! Oh well onward & upward.
