Good luck with getting the port in. I hadn't had trouble with my veins until the most recent 2 rounds of Taxol. I mentioned to the nurse last week how straightforward it had been up until then, as she struggled to insert the canula. She just looked at me as if I was a donut and said "Chemo". For some reason I thought once easy always easy. Sometimes its the bleeding obvious (did you see that pun?) that is the biggest surprise. Also, I agree, hair on some places I am happy to see back, other places.......not so much! Jane
