hi there @Kellee so glad you got through dose 1 ok, so far so good, now 5 to go, just count them down, ask for some emla cream for your next cannula it will numb your hand and help heaps with the discomfort, the hospital gave me the patches to put on my portacath prior to being hooked up also, you could also ask if your gp has some you can use or you can get it from the chemist but it can be expensive, the hospital will give you the patches which is heaps easy to apply and you just put them on 30 - 45 minutes prior to them putting in the cannula and make sure you drink plenty of water prior to pump up those pesky veins. Get your gp to check your boob love if it hasnt settled down, and NO ONE is a whinger or complainer on here woman, you arent feeling or saying anything none of us havent felt or said already love big hugs. margie xx
