This is something I have been concerned with since I have had a port placed in my upper arm. It hurts alot...and I am concerned about clots. I have had two oncologist tell me not to worry...and that flushing it keeps it clean. That I don't need low dose thinners or asprin. I was told that they use to always use thinners years ago...but they find there is no need for it with proper flushing and taking care of it.
Of course I was told to keep an eye on it for reddness, swelling, pain, etc. I hope they know what they are talking about. I think I will inquire about the asprin...it would make me feel better about it.
