And then I had chemotherapy through a drip in my hand, my arms and neck. I ended up having so much to my hands that it burnt the veins in the arteries or wherever, and then I had purple and brown scarring all the way up my arms, both of my arms. This one's still there, it's like, still kind of grey and it doesn't come up if I do something like exercise or whatever. My nerves come up in this hand, but this hand they're still kind of knocked out still, so they were all bruised up and that.
And you said that your Hickman Line got infected?
Yeah. During my treatment, because it's like a fresh wound, it's right there, it's always there, and the pipe goes, moves around, because it goes in and out and stuff, and it's pulling it slightly, the skin that goes around it, and pulling it slightly would end up ripping the skin. And I've got a massive scar there from the pipe being there, which was a small cut on my chest, but it got cut three times, got pulled and this and that, that it kind of got messed up. When I was sleeping it happened worst, because you end up tossing over and whatever, and your arm goes over it, and you squash it or something, and I got my stitches ripped and everything there, so I had antibiotic for that, during my treatment and slowed down my treatment a bit, because you can't have antibiotics and chemo at the same time, so I had to have, I had to wait for a couple of weeks to recover from this, then have my treatment. It wasn't, it did really hurt, but wasn't really bad. |
