Hi
Hubby has Stage 4 bowel cancer with has spread to lungs, liver and lymph nodes. He had a PICC line inserted last Thursday and is due to start palliative chemo on Wednesday.
His line was covered with a tubigrip but keeps slipping and making his arm sore. Does anyone have any ideas or solutions to other products please?
Thanks,
Laura
Hi and welcome to the community, although sorry to hear your husband is having difficulty with his PICC line. You can usually buy basic covers in the larger Pharmacies such as Boots. For more specialist ones, you can find many on line. Prices range from about £5 upwards. Best wishes.
