Difficult veins for IV treatment resulting in anxiety-

I used to have easy veins in my arms, but some time back they got difficult. Now I just point out the visible veins on the back of my hand. The left hand seems better than the right in that regard. Having a skilled phlebotomist helps too!

I started to get shoulder issues ( possibly inflammation of the shoulder capsule) and symptoms like I have arthritis with chemo treatment,
the use of the left arm is now limited, the right arm is
also impacted but not as bad yet, so I want to preserve the
use of my right arm, I also think that chemo had an impact on my veins - there are nurses who tell me they have been doing this (IVs) for 10 or more years, but they bruise my vein or worse, they suggest a port, thanks for
