Hi I’m currently having chemo through a picc line, past few days I’ve experienced pain around the line entrance in my arm, told the oncologist and he said as long as it’s flushing fine then it’s okay, just wondering if anyone else has experienced this?
Hi Twirly I found that it felt like it was digging in a bit so the nurses padded the dressing out a bit more next time I had it flushed? Are you close enough to pop into the chemo unit when it’s next open to ask them to have a quick look at it?
Take care
