Port
Hi flyguy,
In Sweden they flush ports every 4th to 6th week - different in different hospitals. I wouldn't dream of doing that myself - a hickman line is very different from a port.
The surgeon who implanted my port told me to not have it removed when I have a disease like MDS because if/when I need a port again I might be more ill and have difficulties with wound healing.
Kind regards

Tx dependent 2006-Sept 2011. Port since 2007 without problems. Good response to Thalidomide.
