Anyone else running out of veins? I had a mastectomy in Dec 25 and started chemo at the end of Feb. I can only have bloods done in my left arm due to the right side mastectomy. I have tiny veins which like to hide, and despite drinking loads and preheating to the max before going in each time, it usually takes a number of attempts for the poor nurses to actually get into a vein. It didnt help that i picked up an infection in March and spent 4 days in hospital with bloods done daily due to my low white cell count and being neutrophenic. My arm is now continually bruised and sore. Is there anything I can do to ease the bruising?
