Scared at the thought of chemo

I am glad you decided to use this site. You will find lots of lovely ladies on here who will be only too happy to help you out. It is a bit confusing how this network works and this post you have put on has actually ended up as a comment on Linda's post about chemo. If you go back to your blog page and click on create a post, your post will end up on the general site and more people will see it and be able to comment. With regard to your vein issue, are you having FEC? I found that this chemo was often a little painful to have. It is hard on veins and I have had pain in my arm constantly since beginning Chemo, but no redness. I finished my 6th and last chemo 2 weeks ago. If you are worried about the arm can you ring the nurse where you have your chemo and describe your symptoms? I was always told to ring if I was worried about anything in between infusions. With young children it must be very hard to manage. Do you have help? I found I just had to let others help as the chemo seemed to get a bit more exhausting as I went along. Hope you manage okay. Take care and only do what you have to. Deanne xx
