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
