I attend Dr Gray's blood hub for bloods prior to chemotherapy for secondary breast cancer. I felt fine but a little bit apprehensive as it was not the usual blood hub members of staff.
I find it less anxiety provoking when it’s staff I am familiar with and I have the confidence they will be successful with phlebotomy and obtain blood on first attempt, this is paramount when veins can be limited and vulnerable due to ongoing phlebotomy and chemotherapy.
