My veins in my hands had almost all collapsed when I finished chemo in April 2011. There was one “useful” vein left and this was used for my last few treatments. It became very swollen and sore and is now like a varicous vein that people experience in their legs. It is a particular problem at my wrist area and very painful to touch. Not sure what to do about it. Anyone else had similar problems?
