Hi penni,
Am coping suprisingly well, the nurse was fantastic and really took the time to explain everything and was very good getting the cannula in my wrist after heating. Have lots of anti nausea meds including one which has valium which I took before I got there on the morning which helped to calm me. Maybe something you could ask about. I will be having 16 treatments in total (not to mention the blood tests) which is why I was looking at the portacath option but like you wasnt too keen on it. The nurse said my veins are "beautiful" (at least some part of me is haha...and she thinks I wil be fine so Im happy to play iy by ear now.
Glad to hear that you are coping well too...yes its hard to find something to eat that is tasty...i had some of my favourite creamy potato bake yesterday and couldnt eat it...ive heard that lots of people turn to salty like chips not very heathy but i did like my twisties yesterday haha.
cheers jo xoxo
