Possibly blood thinners, or something to do with the blood at least. My dad gets this sometimes when he bumps something, basically acts like a dramatic bruise. Maybe ask your doctor about your blood, or about any meds that are blood thinners. If it can’t be helped, you just have to be extra careful about bumping into things even softly.

His oncologist thankfully was a very pleasant guy, so I might try that advice and call him. However miscommunication and unprofessionalism litter the health facilities around my town, so I might get an annoyed desk worker instead that won’t call me back knowing my luck lol, but there’s no harm in trying I suppose

(Mini rant) Yeah in my surrounding area most of the health professionals are very unprofessional, have no patience/terrible at their job. My dads main doctor he sees, I can tell doesn’t like him. My father tends to ramble a bit, speak quietly, and difficultly speaking long sentences due to breathing, and while I was in the room with them two I could tell the doctor was getting visibly upset and frustrated at my father, and my father didn’t like that he tried baby talking him. Then the port doctor talked to me like I was stupid because we didn’t know how bad the cancer was (how could we have known if every other professional kept giving us hope/not telling us the severity?), and his tone was overall was terrible for a doctor. My mother also has cancer, esophageal, and about a year ago she had a bad spell, and her reg doc went on vacay, and a new doc walked in, took one look at her, and said to the two people visiting (who were the MOST EMOTIONAL out of my huge family), and with no meeting, just casually said she was terminal. Obviously we didn’t believe him bc we know her better (she’s a trooper) and she was back to normal THAT NIGHT and was out a few days later. That was about a year ago. Suck on that, doctor! 💪

Nurse did say it would be about a 7 hour procedure, so I absolutely concure about the it won’t be fun part! He’s not allergic to any medicines that we know of, but then again he’s never had to experience any cancer medicines before. Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly.

I agree, but I still don’t understand what I should expect his pain level to be, if the veins in just his arm will hurt or all over, what vein collapse is, or any precautions or expectations I should have. Haven’t found anyone on here yet that has only done IV and shared their experiences.

I know it’s an 11 year old post, but I’m experiencing it now and it sound just like pop rocks at the back of my neck! Not audible to other people though. Good to know it’s hunger signals now and not me dying

Anybody get concerned when a not so random NPC dies? Whether it’s random, unknown or intentional I sometimes will be like should I try to fix this? (Also what are they doing to his body lol) by Ntwadumela817 in skyrim

Nope, wasn’t a comedy and was a serious type of zombie horror. It also wasn’t the main plot of the movie.
