TC Chemo IV Infusions
Has anyone who was given TC chemotherapy without a port but did the infusions through regular IVs have any vein discoloration? My 2 & 3 infusions have discolored 2 of my veins. They tell me this may or may not be permanent. Anyone else experience something similar?
I did all of my chemo treatments in my arm with IVs. I refused the port for multiple reasons. I did great. I am 2 years out and have zero residual problems. I do not regret my decision at all. I truly believe the infusion nurse makes all the difference.
Yea I do Lisa. I also had a Taxotere burn about the size of a dime next to the vein used.
Yep. With each treatment. Some little one time my entire top of hand. Twice in forearm. But they are all fading. Last chemo 8/19/16
I just had my second cycle of TC and I don't have a port and haven't noticed anything discoloration other than a little bruising from the IV. Hugs
I had all of my treatments in my veins. Kinda sorry I didn't get the port now my veins are not good in that arm and can't use the other arm
Everyone Online Talks Of Loving Their Port And Getting Collapsed Veins From Iv Infusion Of Chemo. Did Anyone Have Success With Iv Infusion?
To Have TC Or Not...I'm Faced With A Difficult Decision...and Are There Long Term Side Effects To TC?
Has Anyone On TC Chemo Had Their Taxotere Switched Out For Abraxane After First Round Reaction? What Was Your Experience With The Switch?
