I’m 6 weeks into having a picc line. It’s started getting tender and sore around entry point. Anyone else had that happen.
Hi Justkeepswimming
Keep a very close eye to your PICC line dear as being immunocompromised at the same time enhances the chances of infection. Call your emergency chemotherapy helpline and explain the situation. Don’t take it lightly my dear I hope you stay well and safe.
Thankyou for your advice. Much appreciated. They took a swab and have changed the plaster with a different glue. I think it’s helping
