Hi Michelle, it didn't happen to me, but it happened while I was having treatment, the nurse accessed a port and the lady kind of went into shock and started shivering, looked frightening, it seems that there was a bug, germ on the skin and it went into the port with the first flush, straight into her blood stream, so she had to have anti-biotics instead of chemo, apparently she had been in a ward and they used her port for something else, so it seems there are a lot of it could be's, hope yours is sorted soon, they are a blessing but also a nuisance.

Love & Hugs Lyn
