I'm so sorry to hear about your troubles. I has the same problem with my first round and ended up in hospital, but the Neulasta injections worked to keep my blood counts up for the next 2 rounds. Now I am on a different weekly drug so don't need them. I had problems with my veins in hospital after first chemo and they couldn't even get the cannula in when they tried to change it on the 3rd day, although they tried 7 times to get the needle into my arm and then my foot. Very painful! So they had to change me over to oral antibiotics instead of intravenous. After that I had a port inserted and now get my chemo through that. It has been so much better. I suggest you ask your oncologist about a port or PICC.
