I also think the public holiday today played into it as well. Nurse kept saying my long session really should have been an am booking so there was less pressure on bloods and timing I left after 5:30 and they said they had 72 patients on unit for the day and a lot little half hour or hour delivery of treatments
i was there at 12 and by the time all the drama was playing out bloods probably not done until 1 normally a 5 minute job and we hadn’t even started the cap at that stage and they were reluctant to start if they couldn’t get a vein so lots of mucking about. All necessary but made for a much longer session; they did say for herceptin they don’t need to see the blood redraw in the port so drama of not seeing blood today but being able to get fluid in won’t be an issue for future treatments.
Very tired red today but somehow need to get packed and away for a weeks family holiday
