Hi @dougal. Sorry you had this drama; really scary. I'm glad you're feeling better now. I was never offered the neulasta injection with my TC. It seems to be very individual depending on your oncologist. I trust there won't be any issue next time!
I had a mixed bag with my cannulas. My second chemo was. Nightmare with a nurse spending five minutes wiggling the needle round under my skin trying to find the vein. It was agony! She also didn't read my chart properly and failed to give me my pain meds in a timely fashion. I made it known that I didn't want to have her again, and I didn't. The NUM told me the nurse had been doing it for 12 years...
Interesting about pain on chemo. I hadn't heard about that either.
@Emim I was very rashy with chemo, all red bumps and spots round my neck and on my chest. Itchy. But it didn't seem to depend on the sun.
My surgeon told me the same thing re radiation therapy & mastectomy. Reassuring. K xox
