After my bladder removal i have started chemo treatments for a few 'warm' spots up near the lung.
The drugs used are Gemcitabine and Cisplatin.The Gemcitabine is a nasty drug that burns the vein lining and ruins them for months,my doc has diluted the amount to try and relieve this problem,the nurses also wrap my arm in warm towels to help with this,i kept quiet the first time and put up with the burning ,wish i hadnt,speak up if you have any pain during treatment,it isnt meant to hurt.
