I always felt HORRIBLE for having to stick someone more than once, and I thought it just added to the trauma of their condition. But, I understand your hesitation. I will be praying for your decision and your recovery! Visiting from FriendsDay!

It all sounds very tough and yet, the "voice" I hear in your writing and posts is very confident, upbeat and not defined by your cancer even though it's a huge thing happening in your life right now. I so enjoy your blog. Thanks for sharing! Hi Carrie,

They used the numbing cream too which really helped. Hey, I like the USB port idea. Sending you best wishes and a big hug.

I can't imagine doing chemo without it. Chemo is bad enough, don't want the extra suffering to go along with it. It's well worth any risk you might face.
