We used to stop on the way home from chemo so he could get candy, lots of candy. And the chemo was really hard on his veins too. They told us his treatments would take 2 hours, but they always took a lot longer because of the sl-o-ow drip to keep it from burning too bad. He didn't ever get a PICT line though - maybe that would have helped. Glad you talked it out with someone and were able to make a decision you feel comfortable with. Also, as embarrassing as it might be, drop by the drug store and get a stool softener (Colace or the like - they're otc) to take the day before and day of chemo - should help with that little problem.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11668125794950236840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435274752215006188.post-64244483275115504332010-03-26T07:57:00.880-07:002010-03-26T07:57:00.880-07:00Hi Lauren,

He was fitted with a PICT line before it started, and it hasn't given him any problems, although he was wary of having it done. Just needs to be flushed out once a week at the hospital. Like you he is very very tired. Good luck with the treatment. I'l be following your blog. AnneUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09807955102181384359noreply@blogger.com
