Hi ladies, I had a single mastectomy in October and started chemotherapy at the end if December. I’ve had 3 rounds of EC and was due to have the 4th and final one yesterday (will then have 12 weeks of taxol, 18 cycles of Herceptin and radiotherapy) - I have phlebitis so I’m injecting myself at the moment to thin my bloods, I went for chemo yesterday and they wouldn’t do it because of my arm. Has anyone else suffered from phlebitis and can you tell me how long roughly it could take to go down?
Many thanks
