I didn't know that I am suppose to get my port flushed once a month!!!! The last time it was used was for chemo the third week of May.

I went through iv's while hospitalized because the port did not work right I think I had to hold my left arm up in the air for it to work right. The tried numerous times to get it to work and would poke and poke but couldn't get it to work.

Will I have problems not having it flushed?
Love
Terry
