Hey Erica
You explain your experience so well which is great for some of the girls that haven't gone down that path yet.

Often I was so frightened of what was happening I didn't ask but I wish I had have now.
I was thinking seeing as you are having so much trouble with your veins you might suggest that you have a port put in place which makes have your bloods done before each chemo session so much easier. Especially if they are having trouble already?? Just a thought.
Lots of love, Mich xoxo
