Arm soreness
Thanks to everyone who replied to my previous post about my arm soreness following a chemo session. I had an ultrasound today (lovely way to spend my birthday!) and it appears there are no blood clot...

I had a porta cath inserted in January after my first chemo session. After sitting with my hands in hot water to bring the veins out, the chemo nurses recommended the porta cath to me. Put in under light general anaesthetic and I was good to go for round two. The benefit for me is not having to worry about it getting wet in the shower. It's been a great option for me as I will be having herceptin infusions every three weeks for twelve months. Good luck with your decisions.
