Hi -- I've had my port over 3 years & have had minimal problem. Only once have I had to have the "mr. plumber" to unclog it. It was pretty easy - they just injected it & waited 30 minutes, then it worked fine.
Then, just this week when I went for chemo the nurse wasn't able to get a return. After she tried a couple times & was saying we might have to use the "plumber", she said something funny & I started to laugh & immediately the blood started to flow. We decided the muscle contractions jogged things to help it get going. Who knows, but if it happens again, I'm goig to try laughing!
