Hello Ladies,
My mom has not been getting any blood back from her port for the last 3 weeks. Today they gave her some Cath Activase to try and clear the port but it did not work. Have any of you had this problem, should they continue to administer the Herceptin? How can we be sure that it is going into the bloodstream to do it's job. I would appreciate some advice on what to do next.

Thanks,
Anne
