AC Chemo - Round 2 - Days 1-5 (Chemo session from Hell)
I know it had been a while but it has taken this long fornme to regroup enough to come back and write about my 2nd AC Chemo experience as the whole damn episode is something I want to simply forget. ...
Sorry to hear you had the nurse from hell on your second round. I had one on the 3rd round on the one occasion I didn't have any one with me that day. I also documented that day as if I didn't I would have thought I was the crazy one not the nurse. Yes it hurts a lot if the cannulas not in a good vein. That day they used the smallest vein on the back of my hand and the entire multiple hours burned. Keep an eye on the site of it as it can erupt in the skin into a burn and if infected you will have all sorts of troubles. Fortunately mine never got any infections and just looked like a chemical burn for a few weeks. They can do dressings if you think it needs it so just ask, its no biggie and stay in touch with your oncology team.
