PICC line support

Hi everyone, I’m Dylan from the Online Community team.

We’ve recently published a new blog all about living with a PICC line. It brings together some of the experiences shared by members across the Online Community, along with some practical tips and guidance from our Cancer Information Nurse Specialists.

You can read the blog here: Cancer treatment - Living with a PICC line

We know that having a PICC line fitted, or getting used to living with one, can bring up lots of questions. It can really help to hear from others who have been through something similar.

If you feel comfortable sharing, it would be great to hear about your experience: 

• What was it like having your PICC line fitted?
• How have you found living with it day to day?
• Do you have any tips that helped you manage or adjust?

You’re also very welcome to ask questions here if there’s anything you’re unsure about.

As always, if you have a clinical question, you can post in our Ask a Nurse forum where our Cancer Information Nurse Specialists can support you.

Thank you to everyone who shares their experiences, it can make a real difference to others.

Take care,
Dylan
