I only get my port flushed every 2 months when I get maintenance Rituxan and blood draws. I’ve been told that the Rituxan belly shots cause less reactions because it absorbs slowly in your tissue. I never had a reaction during drip but now I have continual mouth sores.

Best thing ever! I have 0 veins as well, port is a must!

I didn't get a port either.
It was only brought up after 4 sessions of 2 days
Like you veins were destroyed
Radiology had to be utilized for the last two. I do have to admit that upper arm deep vein access for iv was better than usual sites. Treatments over for now till next scan in 4 mos.

Best of luck my friend in health, prayers your way 🙏

Port was fine 15 years ago. Had it removed after 3 years. Relapse happened in 2020. Since I only was going to get rituxan, no infusions were necessary because the subcutaneous injections in belly were available and worked well. Had one reaction to the injection, a rash. Was able to successfully treat that with benedryl as directed by oncologist. Port is ok though, as others pointed out, it requires some maintenance. Best regards whatever your decision! 🙏💪
