Liberating experience

Less than one minute read time.

I got my PICC line out after my last round of chemo. I requested this as it was really getting to me. I know this may sound silly but I felt as if I got my body back.

I was a little anxious about going swimming since I only have the one boob now but then suddenly today I thought, 'to hell with it' and off I went to the pool. I got changed and headed out into the pool area lob sided but happy. No one even looked and even if they did I didnt notice. I have suddenly felt so much more confident about my body-weird isnt it, they way your view on life can change?

    Well done you!

    I'm hopefully getting my PICC line out next week and can't wait to go for a swim, particularly as we had such a nice start to the Summer and I kept getting invites to the beach and outdoor pools!

    How long after the line removal can you go?

    Best Wishes
