Thank you for posting this question.
It is the same for my husband - No info about flushing the port. Last time his port was used was Feb 18 !!
This rutin/recommendation can not be different if you live in Europe (as we do) can it ?
Are there different kinds of ports ?
I find it frightening that we have not gotten any info about this
Does anyone have a link to some 'official' recommendations/info about flushing of ports ? I would like to print it out and bring to his Onc later this week when husband has a control ultrasound and an Onc appointment.
Kind Regards /L
