So I had a non-cancer related blood draw today and ...I let them use the side where I had the nodes removed. I usually have to get stuck three or four times on my "good" side thanks to AC. Blood draws are seriously starting to give me anxiety, but today it was one barely noticeable stick. It was wonderful!!! However, I feel like I've broken some cardinal BC rule. Anybody else caved and get a blood drawn on the protected side???

    I guess I'm on the naughty list with you!! Laughing  I don't have a non mastectomy side, so I would have to have foot draws.  They aren't allowed to do foot draws at the lab on my island, I would have to travel to Nanaimo to the hospital & even then I have had to fight to get one.  So I don't bother fighting anymore. 

    The lab techs are good though, they extra cleanse & they are happy not to use a tournique. 

    I guess Santa's not going to visit me this year....
