Hi, well wasn't that fun?! I went in yesterday to have a PICC put in and my second treatment. The PICC went in fine...but went into my neck instead! I turned my head like a good girl but it wasn't going round that corner! Cue re-try, and the same thing happened again. So glad it wasn't a painful procedure, whether going in or out! They're referring me for a Groshong, straight into the chest under a local anaesth/sedative, so that sounds fun...
Had my treatment today instead, as they wanted to let me vein recover a bit. All went in ok, and came home loaded up like a pack horse with lots of drugs. I'd nicely summarised my main symptoms from the first time round - for me overall it affected my digestive system really - bit constipated and had acidy feeling for about a week or so, but they've dosed me up for that.
Having gone nice and short (everyone loved my short do which I had for a week or so, fantastic, I felt so girly funnily enough!!!) the hair has now been shaved off ready for the big fallout. We thought better do it before the second treatment as clippers round my bonce when I'm feeling potentially tender is not a good plan :-)
