As Chemotherapy wrecks ones veins can I make a suggestion that you explore the option of having one inserted prior too the start of Chemo then you dont have as many problems especially if it becomes necessary after your Immune system has been blitzed.
Mine got inserted further down the track and I have just spent 6 days in hospital on Vancomycin and Pipracillin to get the post op infection under control. My kidneys survived!
This caused a delay again to my getting my last Chemo..mutter mumble..clodhopper! Have a great day folks. Joanna
