Should you get your chemo port flushed periodically?

Thank you everyone for your replies. I found out there is a difference, depending on if you have an accessible versus under the skin. As a follow up question, has anyone had any issues with their port? Mine has been “uncomfortable” since it was put in, cannot touch it or the area. I also get a rash quite often. It hurt each time it was used (I had a drip and there was only two rounds of chemo).

@hopenjoy2024 I’m sorry your port is uncomfortable and you’re having issues with it. Mine was truly amazing and became just another part of me. Most of the time I forgot I had it. I stopped using it in May 2022, had 3 monthly flushes and recently had it removed under general anaesthetic because it suddenly stopped working. I wonder why yours is troublesome.
