How about buy the dark choco and ginger separately then eat them together.? Ha! I don't like choco with a high percentage = too bitter for me.

Edit:
I meant I eat dark chocolate covered ginger "sparingly" when I can find it.

@mtstack Oh no 😩 I’m so very sorry to hear the medical staff had trouble finding a good vein with your first infusion and that you then didn’t tolerate the taxol well 😪 It’s such a strong drug, and one of the most effective.

So hard to get in the right headspace to start chemo. Then to be kicked in the butt is NOT a good start.

I hope your oncologist can tinker with your chemo regime so you tolerate the brew.

I had a port inserted in my chest and found that was great for me. Some people also have trouble with ports but I didn’t have any.

I have always had catheter blood tests and now infusions (ie not through my port) for surveillance PET-CT scans. I sometimes have had and still have trouble with finding a good vein for blood tests and I too dislike when they have to dig around and have a few goes to get a good vein. A particular lady at the blood draw centre seems to now know my veins and gets them 1st time. I hope you can work with the infusion team to make it easier (hydration, squeezing and unsqueezing a fist to show the best vein just before starting, finding which arm and where on it) to find the best vein on each occasion.

Wishing you a much easier time next time ❤️‍🩹🙏
