Picc line

yes you can have it through a cannula .I had a picc line fitted and it was so much easier to have the chemotherapy you soon get used to them in the arm I had 12 treatments  and I had mine in for 18 weeks it took some getting used to but after a couple of weeks it was fine.  The oncologist advised me to have one fitted because of the amount of chemotherapy treatments to make it easier on the veins .  The weeks soon went and 2 months on I forgot about it now. 

Thanks for replying it’s the fitting and thought of it. So overthinking everything at the moment. 

I am a proper baby with needles but to be honest it didn’t hurt to be fitted . I was terrified but I just done some deep breathing and took myself off to a sunny beach and when they took it out I was so glad to see the back of it,it didn’t bother me. I have done my chemotherapy, it so much to take in , take it a step at a time try not to worry honestly it’s not that bad take care xx

Hi, JaneyM1. Please don't get too worried about the picc line insertion. I've had 2 at different times over the yrs because I have terrible veins and I felt absolutely no pain during the procedures. Chemo is very harsh on your veins, and a picc line can save you a great deal of discomfort. It felt a wee bit strange for a week or so but I hardly notice it now. Good luck!

Sorry, I think I've replied to the wring person, but the msg is still the same
