PICC line

Hi I have had a picc line put in.Yes they give you a yellow line bandage to put over it. Where I have my chemo they have covers made by previous patients for you to take. You can't really catch them, but you do need a cover for the bath or shower.

Thank you. 

I found I could where what ever I wanted yes they gave me a new cover every week after a week I often forgot it was there 

having it put in I was scared to death but it was so easy and I had mine taken out sat I. Waiting area lol

Hi SNi. How did it go today? For me, it felt strange for the first few days, but when I got used to it I loved it! Hopefully they will have given your some elasticated tubing to go over it. You can also buy prettier PICC line covers. Loads available on the normal online retailers. You'll be able to wear most things no problem. 

Thank you 

Thank you. It was fine a little  scary at first but it was ok. It is bandaged at the moment but when I start chemo on Thursday they said a new covering will be put on. Relieved it’s done now. 

Well done. Try to get some good sleep and good luck for Thursday. Actually, good luck for Sunday-Thursday. Remember to drink lots of water and rest lots. x
