"Hard Vein"

Hi All

 

Well Im please to say my treatment finished at the end of November (bar checkups and tablets)

 

My question is I have one vein that is still hard.. it runs down the center of my of my forearm and can be quite painful at times. Any one any ideas how long it will stay like this? Will it ever soften? Is there anything I can do?

 

Thanks in advance xx

  • Hello Mrsfrenzy

    I'm glad to hear that you've finished treatment. I hope that you're continuing to recover from all that you've been through. 

    Sometimes chemo veins can recover in time and sometimes they may not. As with many things post-treatment sometimes only time will tell. However, I certainly think it's worth giving our nurses a call for some advice. It may be that they are able to give you a bit more information and tips to help cope with the discomfort that you're experiencing. If you'd like to chat with them they're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I hope things improve.
