@Unicornkisses I had 4 FEC 3 weeks apart and 8 weekly Taxol. I didnt get an option for a portacath, I noticed friends who had longer chemo as in having to have Herceptin post the chemo regime got them. Im ER+ only and shocking veins LOL, they are so well trained honestly, they will find a way with no problems, I only had one day out of all of it with extreme difficulty due to inexperience. I do suffer Migraine, but thankfully only now and then, they have really settled alot. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia over 10yrs ago which I dont medicate for, I just got on with life and forgot I even have it. Strange thing was the Staff told me this is why I was so ill through Chemo, it affects people moreso who suffer from this, because its an oversensitivity to pain. Great!!! I thought. How it will work with the Migraines I am not sure, so make sure you communicate constantly with your Team, every little thing!! and they'll find a way to stay on top of things. Ativan was the only thing that seemed to help, I was drug sensitive and couldnt take narcotics, but Ativan settled me and helped me sleep. Hugs Melinda xo
