I have scaredy veins too. When I did ac/and taxol, I had a picc line and it was great except that I had to get it cleaned and flushed every Friday. I did my chemo on a Friday and Usually felt okay over the weekend. I was guaranteed to throw up on Monday morning (probably because i had to get up and go to work) I did work through chemo and did a great deal of walking as I take the train to work. I guess I tolorated it pretty well (I was 33) I took everyone's experiences and planned for worst case and I didn't get that. Everyone is different and so will the reactions. I now have a port and I think it's the greatest thing they do my blood draws, and injections for scans through it. And I gey one stick and they are going to get it on the first try!
