shot down in flames

Hi Leonie,
Now you have me concerned. Is the "penny" the thing they put in your chest? My friend had that and didn't mention having to have it flushed out every month. She said it was better as it saves your veins. My parthner told me - Yes, that would be okay, but it will be in for the entire 3 months, where as the canola is only in 4 days (meaning the four dosage days). He has a point, my pain threshold is terribly low.
My oncologist was not very nice to me and told me "it has to go into a vein SOMEWHERE!" She was very abrasive and I want to think she was only having a bad day. None of the options were really explained properly to me so I want to have another discussion with her on what will/won't work. Right now, I think that she thinks I am just being a difficult patient and better get me some help.
I got referred to a psychologist - the same day as my hypnotherapy so I am hoping I will have a double dose of this psycho-help and will breeze through everything.
Thanks for the feed back though
Take care and stay healthy
