I was getting chemo through a vein for the first 5 infusions. My veins hurt really bad in my left hand and that lasted for a year!!
The doctor never suggested a port, the infusion nurse is the one who asked me why I didn't have one.
Best thing I did. I have been having infusions off and on for the last 4 years.

did you take any meds or other treatment for your left hand afterwards?
For how long did you have the port for a period of infusions, did you ever develop pain or
an infection while having a port?
