Chemo Update
Hi girls,
Had my first cycle of TAC yesterday and so far so good. We were there for about 6 hrs as the first treatment can often take longer, plus I am part of a clinical trial so they need to take...
Hi Jenny, my veins didn't cope with chemo and after just one treatment I got cording. As a result I had a Portacath inserted in my chest cavity which is just wonderful. Even though I've finished chemo, I am blood tested regularly so have opted to leave mine in for a while longer as taking blood is difficult and quite traumatic via a vein. I had no idea treatment for cording was available until I read some of the comments above. It's given me some direction to research on the net, so thank you ladies.
I wish you well Jenny and hope your next treatment is kind to you.
