I also had a problem with blood return on my port - they sent me to radiology to find out what the problem was and my port had broken. A piece of my port was in my heart. I had been running a fever for 3 weeks and within a day of them removing my port - my fever returned to normal. I still had 12 taxol treatments to go as well as a year's worth of Herceptin, but I told them I would not have another port. They just use an IV for me now. My port never worked right from the beginning, the IV's have been easier. If your port is giving you too much trouble talk to your oncologist about just using an IV.
