Dr. Wall has given the green light for round 8 of the Ox (Oxaliplatin). I'm scheduled to have the PICC line threaded, snaked??? errrrr put in - that's it, Monday morn @ 9. Then it's upstairs for that delicious drip. It will have been just over a month since the last IV infusion. The swelling is gone, however on the underside of my arm, approx. 3 inches below and above the elbow, the hardness remains. It feels like (when you touch the area) I am clinching the muscles. Still can't straighten my arm out 100% and the area is pretty painful when touched - but I have found the best exercise (at least what feels the best) is using the back scrubber while in the shower to help get rid of the rash on my back. Hey, necessity is the mother of invention.
