I was told by the nuclear med tech that while they COULD use a port to GET the blood (but don't because they're not trained to use it), they couldn't use it for the blood return because it was too close to the heart for the 'all at once' dose of irradiated blood. So even if they could use it, they wouldn't.

I was sure disappointed to find they wouldn't use my port for this. I thought I wouldn't get ANY other sticks when I got my port. Oh well.
