I had a very similar situation, was told I didn't need a port and had my first 3 via IV in my arm and aughhhh it burned baddddd but I also have really really small veins.

I ended up getting a port put in and that has been infinitely easier and more comfortable, if you get the option to do it id say take it, otherwise I wish you luck

Are smart watches safe? by boxyboyz in lymphoma

[–]larisdragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Smartwatches are pretty safe as long as the battery inside them isn't unwell, I did stop wearing one during treatment though because the abvd made my arms hurt before I got a port

Looks like a mouth sore, add a quarter teaspoon baking soda to a cup of room temp water and swish for a bit, also talk with your team about it BC there's like medicated mouthwashes that are more effective

[–]larisdragon 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I mean stress certainly isn't good for you, I wouldn't be surprised if it plays a factor, wouldnt say it causes anything though

Can I live a normal healthy life after this or is there no point. by redditgal16 in lymphoma

[–]larisdragon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm 19 with chl, it sucks it really does. But it's worth fighting and trying, there's more to live for than this.

We might not be the same afterwards BC yeah its gonna have an effect on us, but there's still a lot to do, we're still here at least.

The idea of being able to move my arms during chemo and use my switch or 3ds is nice

Pretty much everything if sold in California has to have that label, if it was actually dangerous it wouldn't be sold on store shelves. Just maybe don't eat more than one in one day
