Picc line?
Finished AC three weeks ago and Started 12 weekly doses of paclitaxel today. Had a blood test yesterday and the IV today. All along, the doctors have been telling me that my veins are not good, but ...
sadly cannot have one myself as sugfer major allergies to plastic rubber etc somsuffering through AC chemi without resulting in terrible bruising multiple stabs etc that Inam affraid is destroying my veins permanently...
I have 2 friends that are undergoing Chemo and both had it done andnbith just over the moon for habing done it as in their words it makes everything so much easier and more managable
For me, I will only have 2 more AC Sessions as they dare not give me.other tyoes of Chemo which were planned due to my allergies but honestly if it turned out Inwould need more than another 2 sessions considering exoerience my friends had (with) and mine (without it) I would seriously risk the adverse allergic reaction and go for it to try prevent further damage to my blood vessels every time Chemo is due.
All the best
