I agree with @iserbrown - not crying is normal too. I had about three snivels, at home in private, during treatment. I can sob through a sad movie but not about cancer, that’s just me. As for veins, I do wonder sometimes about training. I had only one arm that could be used because of lymphoedema, happily I had a senior oncology nurse who never failed, never needed two attempts and yet other staff would have me looking like a dot painting! They were all very attentive and thoughtful, the warm bath got pulled out a couple of times, but didn’t seem to know about using a smaller needle or using my hand (yes, I did tend to get a bruise but better than multiple punctures!).
