4th and final chemo
18/3/2016 4th and final chemo day1 Pretty painless delivery of chemo today as you can see, no red face of pain this time on my pics. They did however take quite a while to find a vein including usin...
The needles didn't really hurt that much and to their credit they did get a new needle out each time so they weren't using blunt ones. I was just happy they found a vein and didn't have to go slicing me to find a vein for one more lousy chemo. I have a high pain threshold for needles which does help. Tip - big vein and the chemo liquids don't hurt. Piddly little hand vein and you can bet it will hurt. The last one was a hand vein and the stuff escaped into my hand and caused a chemical burn that only just healed 3 weeks later. Although dangerous to use the elbow vein as it can escape up in to the muscle above, as long as I kept my elbow locked in the open position we were goodo. It was a breeze.
