Oh my gosh! I have not had a blood return since starting my Herceptin-only treatments.
The nurses do not seem concerned at all.
My concern is that the "no blood return" started after a little accident: The IV monitor fell off of the pole and it pulled the iv part way out of the port. They had to pull the iv out and start all over again.
The nurses tell me that as long as it flushes okay, there is no problem with no blood return. Should I be worried? I've never mentioned this to the onc.
