I started chemo today....

and the nurse gave me a tip for when you're going to get stuck with a needle.
Get some Preperation H (or something with numbing action) and rub some on the spot 30 minutes to hour before hand. You'll never feel the stick.

Sorry to hear about this once again, I hope this goes smoothe and safe with you, you'll get through it. Good luck, man.

Best of Luck, Mike. Stay Strong. Best Wishes on a speedy recovery.

yeh good luck mate ss.org is with you, keep administering the metal and the guitar

Damn... does it work?? Wish I woulda known that. That shit hurt all the time. Did they put your port on the left or right? And are you outpatient? I was inpatient for my first week (and 2nd due to a scheduling error).

Good luck man. I'm sure you'll do just fine. And if you want, you can check out my 'chemo reward' thread known as "Avalanche". It'll help bring your spirits up.

Hope all goes well, man.

I had right-side. And if they didn't explain (I'm sure they did, but it's good info for other ppl), they leave the needle in all week because you run a risk of infection everytime you poke a new hole. And you're lucky to get outpatient dude. I couldn't sleep worth a damn when I was inpatient. That damn IV drip kept me up all night (not to mention I kept getting woke up every 2-3hrs for tests). Outpatient is much nicer. Good luck.
