How Can Swelling In The Hands Be Treated?

I AM IN ANTIBODY TREATMENT FOR NON-HODGKINS LYMPHOMA. WHEN I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL FOR BLOOD PRE-TESTING, MY HAND WAS LEFT SWOLLEN & BLACK & BLUE. AFTER 4 ATTEMPTS I TOLD THE TECHNICIAN TO GET A PERSON WITH BETTER EXPERTISE. I HAVE PROBLEMS REPEATEDLY GETTING BLOOD FROM MY VEINS. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO?
