Hi, I underwent cancer treatment for osteosarcoma at the age of 13-15 years and had taken 9 chemo-therapy cycles at Tata memorial hospital, mumbai.Now since 10 years I am fine and healthy. My current problem is the veins in both of my hands are very deep, and whenever I go for any blood test the clinician can't find out veins easily, it's there any solution for this? Please help.

The chemotherapy may have caused thrombosis of veins, which leads to difficulty in finding the veins for blood collection. You may try at institute which has vein finder which maps the veins using infrared technology.
