Hi Celeste
I had a port inserted on the inside of my upper arm. I had six treatments of TCH and then a further seven of Herceptin. It was actually a relief to have it particularly when you have to be there for such along time. I always felt really bad when others had such difficulty with their veins and mine just went straight in with no fuss. I had no trouble with infection and after a few days post op you forget you even have it.
I am really glad I listened to my surgeon who suggested it would be a good idea for me.
Good luck with your decision.
