GRoach,
Hi! The only thing I've been told is they can feel some scar tissue because they've taken from the same spot multiple times. I have one good spot they take it from. But they keep getting what they need from it. Kelly

Hi GRoach - Don't know personally, but I'm always told to drink plenty of water, especially the day of & before a blood draw for an easier flow of blood. πŸ«£πŸ€” Good question for your Doctors πŸ‘

Greetings GRoach, Over the past five years I have had countless lab work drawn. My NHL/SLL doesn't seem to interfere with the blood draws at all. Perhaps I'm just fortunate.
be well
