Hello, I'm here to talk about my mom. She is 1 year and 3 months since last day of chemo. Still NED as of June 2019. She gets CA 125's and port flushes very often. She has never had any issue with port flushes until today. They weren't getting a return at all. They pushed 3 mL? (I think) of Heparin and finally got a return. They nurse did not seem concerned in the slightest. Since Heparin worked, does that mean she had a clot? And is this something to worry about? Or is this something that can be normal since she has had it for so long? She is and has been on Xeralto since diagnosis because of Multiple DVT's and a PE. Mom says she doesn't have any pain at the port site either.
