Hi recently started chemo and straight away had trouble with the cannula so had a picc-line put in , I new nothing of this before the day it happened, they phoned and said your line is going in to day, hadn't been notified or discussed just get there is happening now, so I went it was fine until 12hours later when they changed the dressing then it hurt and itched, they now have me on a sensitive dressing that's better but I can be sitting doing nothing and I feel like l am being stabbed by little tiny needles, any information would be helpful, I am so scared when the change the dressing.
It will settle :) I has to switch to the sensitive dressings too and that helped a lot. I also found that the orange part rubs on my skin so I now ask the nurse to put a little bit of the white dressing (gauze?) Underneath the orange plastic part and the tube to stop it rubbing, that helps a lot. Some of the nurses are not keen on doing this...but it's my arm 
hope that helps a little?
