PICC LINE IN DOMINANT ARM

Hi Kaey. I had a like put in for 3 sessions. The hospital will decide what lube is best so it may not be a PICC. I've got a Groshong line in and wished I had done it at the start. Getting chemo through and bloods done is a breeze. Take care and I wish you luck x

Predictive text sorry. "Line" not lube or like! X

Thanks Forrest

I saw the consultant today, he says try the first without and get them to put it in for the second. My hesitation is just my left arm isn’t right yet after my surgery so maybe in a few more weeks it will be fine. 

See how you go. With the groshong it goes from yr collar bone to yr chest so nowhere near yr arm or have to worry about dominant side etc. I forget its there. Good luck. 

Hi Kaey you shouldn't really have needles in thr atm from your surgery if you had nodes removed. X. 

Hi they will not put a line in the arm that you have had surgery on I had my surgery on my left side so had to have my picc line in my right  arm you soon get used to it so much easier for bloods also if you need CT or scans hope all goes well with whatever is decided regards Belinda xx

I had my picc line on my surgery side, as long as you have not had all your nodes out it's absolutely fine.

Mine was in for 6 cycles with no issues 

Hi Cupotea,

I have had all my nodes out but thank you for replying. My consultant said they will put it in before for cycle 2.
