Runcie Chidebe "A VERY PAINFUL JOURNEY" "It's been a very painful journey, most especially when the veins collapse I suffer a lot, maybe because I'm big. about nine pricks before I take chemo[therapy]. Nine full pricks! [she exclaims] Every part of my hands [are] vandalized before I take chemo[therapy] Because knowing that I'm going to feel pain, I'm going to feel another pain, more pain and still the result is not there [not successful]. In fact, it got to the point of using my leg and still, it was still very difficult. I would say they [doctors] are not patient and not well trained. Their inpatient level can lead you to develop cancer on its own." www.projectpinkblue.org @projectpinkblue @runci

Summary (AI generated)

Now, I just wanted to share some of the key information that we've seen. This is from some of the ongoing research. And this is what a patient said.

"It's been a very painful journey. Most especially when the vein collapses, I suffer a lot. Maybe it's because I'm big and need about nine pricks for chemotherapy. Nine full pricks. Every part of my hands is on the line before I take chemotherapy because I know I'm going to feel pain. I am going to feel another pain and still the result is not successful. In fact, it got to the point of using my leg and it's still difficult. I would say to the doctor, I would say the doctors are not patients, they are not well trained. The impatient level can lead you to develop cancer on its own."
