Just not a lot happenin’ – and another tip

bloodworkI know I’ve been pretty quiet in here, but there’s just not a lot going on in my little world. I’m doing my treatments, I still feel pretty good, and life goes on.

I do have one tip, however. If you’re getting lab work done, consider that you may want to have the blood taken from your arm rather than your port. The nurses will automatically assume you want it from the port, but I’ve found that to just draw a couple tubes of blood, accessing my port isn’t worth it, and it’s less painful for less time just to have them take it from my arm.
