I have trouble getting blood from my port and the last couple of times they figured out if I raise my hand over my head, the blood will then come out. The onc nurses tried various tricks, leaning me back, turning my head, etc. until they finally figured out that raising my hand works for me. the nurses have also assured me that the medicine is still getting in. They first put in something to clear the line, and if that goes in, then I think they know that they are in. Good luck!
