Pic from Chemo day yesterday. DIdnt bother to take my lap duvet , but the 'warm' blankets are only good for a few minutes and then just heavy - duvet next week! You cant seen the IV because it is inserted on the underside of my right arm.We dont use the top of my hand since it is still in recovery mode from an IV infiltration 2 months ago.
Had a problem yesterday when they changed the drip rate from slow to fast after 15 minutes and had a bad burning sensation at the site, nurse ended up doubling the saline rate more than the chemo rate to dilute it more as it entered and then it was OK. She said some people have that problem every time but it was quite a surprise to me as it was the first time
