morning all. Well after being told on Tuesday that I needed a line put in as my veins are collapsing after only two rounds it was inserted yesterday. Since they did it I have lived on paracetamol and ibuprofen. Hardly any sleep and up still in pain at the place where they inserted it. Anyone else like me or am I just being soft. Thanks

Hope you got sorted but I wanted to let you know it took me about a week before my picc was pain free but I did get there x

Hi. I rang this morn and I’m there tomorrow. They said it could be a few days before it improves so see how it is tomorrow as I’m due my third round of EC. I’m hoping it’s all good to go xx

Hi Jen hope you safe and well. Yes I was there yesterday and they have sorted it all out for me and it’s so much better Thankyou. They also did my chemo so that was a plus as I’m now half way through xxx

Oh that’s great to hear. We all have good weeks and pretty rough ones on this journey of cancer. It’s lovely to read about the good and positive times that other lovely ladies are going through and it’s also nice to be able to chat to people that are going in the same boat as us. Take care and I’ll be reading your posts xxx
