Hi, I am going to see Oncologist on 10th December to discuss details of forth coming chemo treatment due to start on 15.12.10. I have noticed several members refering to fitting of Picc lines before chemo.Does anyone know if Is it standard practice to have one fitted before treatment starts and are they they painful.?
Thanks Polly. x
I was diagnosed with BC late October, thirty years to the month after having my first mastectomy aged 23. I had second mastectomy on 2.11.10. and have just been told that it was grade 3 with 16 out of 20 lymph nodes also infected . I am seeing Onchologist on Friday 19.11.10 and have been told to expect 6 months chemo and 2 months radiotherapy. I am usually such a positive person but right now positivity is in short supply…
