Picc Lines.

Hiya i had a line fitted before i started my chemo although i didnt have the picc line as it just wasnt practical when i have kids, i opted for the hickman line. I didnt have a very good experiance when they put the line in, however, ive only had one round of chemo and im currently in hospital, having bloods taken everyday!!! So i would really reccomend having a line fitted i would have had very sore arms if mine wasnt in!!!

Good luck with it and any questions just ask,

Love Emma xx :-)

Hello Polly,

I have got a PICC line and it is not a problem for me at all, having it put in was easy too. Not everyone has them fitted for chemo - it depends on the treatment you are having, I am sure you will find out at your appointment.

Hope this helps

Hi Polly,

Sorry I cant help. But whatever you choose to do

I hope it works for you. All the best and Good Luck.

Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xx

Hi Polly,

I have had a PICC line fitted, didn't feel a thing, makes taking blood and having chemo much easier. It needs flushing once a week by a district nurse but again you don't feel anything. People have said if you don't have one fitted and they have to find a vein each time you have chemo it can get painful as your veins harden as chemo goes on.

I've had 2 rounds of chemo so far and it's worked fine for me. Hope all goes well. love Maxine

Hi Emma,

Sorry to hear that you are in hospital at the moment. I hope that you will soon be back home with your family again soon. Thank you for sharing your experience with me. I found it really useful

Take care, Love Polly. xx.
