Thanks @Sister and @Jenny I did have a long consult with my GP yesterday and she was helpful, saying to just use the Panadol and Amiltriptyline so my body has as few drugs in it before I start chemo. That was going to b this Thurs 13/9 but looks like it might b put back a week because I am still in a lot of pain when I use the right arm(my mastectomy and lymph node ops were on the left) where they have placed the portacath just below my collar bone. The Oncology Nurse I just rang said I shouldn't b having pain but it is only 6 days since it was inserted and I think I need another week for it to settle in. I have had to have Panadol every 4 hrs since this insertion, whereas I had dropped most of my daytime ones prior to the portacath op. Has anyone had any experience with this, as I really couldn't stand to have it palpated and a needle inserted into it yet?!
