Had TWBC at SouthStateSH. Went there alone. Saw a glimpse of DrR.
Met K.Amie from SkudBaru. She had already finished her rounds of K-Mo and operation (with DrIsml) for about a year now. She had breastC and now comes into the hosp for routine check-up. She had an appointment with DrIsml but he was in theatre. She was not keen to wait in DrIsml waiting room and rather wait at DrR's. I have the feeling that C patients tend to make themselves at home when they are at the hosp.

Waited and waited and waited for the blood results to arrive. They were late. It would be quicker if I were to do it at YouTEMInfirmary.
Then K.Shikn the aux. nurse called me out from the treatment room. Aaahh.. my MissWhite must be low. True enough, it was only 800 WC. Not enuff for chemo- needs at least 1500. Well, at least it was more than before (200 last time).

Izan then did it for me. It was not too bad this time. She asked me to take a deep breath when she wanted to insert the needle. Then relax the tummy after when the medication was injected.

Points to ponder
Injection/insertion of any kind would be easier (less painful) if it were to take place at parts in which the patients can control the pressure. Eg. injection - tummy (as compared to the finger, cephalic or dorsum), insertion needle (biopsy) at the sternum (as compared to the hips).
