Hi @sammy75 . I wouldn’t worry about the steroids. They gave me a completely sleepless night after I had one lot so if you put them off, I would! I can’t comment on the injections as I’m not on them (different regime I think). My nails are fine so far so not doing anything - appreciate that may change!
Try to switch off for the rest of the day and don’t worry about tomorrow. The day before you start is the worst as you don’t know what to expect. Once you get going I think you’ll be fine ![]()

I’m feeling good today. Slept for 10 hours and got good energy. Noticed some blood when I blew my nose earlier so will keep an eye on that.
I’ve decided, especially after seeing another post on here about it, not to have a PICC line for now. When I had surgery last November I had terrible blistering and itching in reaction to the dressing, and it was only on for 3 weeks. The PICC will be there for months. I’ve conferred with my BCNs and they’re fine with it. As cannulation went well for me on my first round I’m going to stick with that and see how I go. I just don’t want to risk the skin reaction again - frankly it was worse than the wound itself!
So that’s my day so far ![]()
