Hi Chrissk
I am new here too. Diagnosed with grade 3 stage 1 invasive cancer with very weak receptor ER+1, PR+1 and HER2- in June this year. I have just finished 4 rounds of chemo every 3 weeks, (docetaxyl and cyclophosphamide). It might depend on how many rounds of chemo you need to have. I had cannulas for my first two rounds but had bad reaction to the cyclo which burnt and damaged my veins so had a picc line put in that stayed for the next two rounds. The picc was painless and other than being a bit annoying to shower with and needing to be flushed each week was not as invasive as getting a port put in. Might be a good option to look at for you if you are worried about your veins, maybe try the cannulas first and if you get no reaction and your veins can cope then great! No picc or port needed.
Not sure if it helps but I also used a nail polish called 'horsepower' nail fortifier from the 'Essential Luxuries for Cancer' website before I started chemo and my nails did not split/peel/lift or fall out! Awesome.
Best of luck with your treatment :)
Good luck :)
