Picc Line

Hi. Was chemotherapy mentioned? 

Hi Was chemo mentioned like Dani said a? If your veins in hands are difficult to get cannulas in a pic line is a good alternative. I would want to know why before they do it. Know a few who did have pic line they were having a few different chemos or veins were difficult to acess.

Hi Hazel, no nothing was mentioned just one of the theatre staff off the cuff remark. Nurse in ward called Consultant and said he would see me first thing and explain. 
Dani I read that Piccs are for chemo but no one has mentioned that to date!

I’m at a loss, then. It’s a pity nobody bothered to explain to you. Awful! 
let us know what happens. 
PS

the only thing I can think of is that as this is a recurrence your consultant has you down for chemoradiation but I fail to see why this hasn’t already been discussed. 

Hi Jellyshoes ,

I hope by now someone has been out explain the procedure and why its needed.

My friends son had one fitted as it was tricky to get candulas in His was for Chemo PICC insertion went well . I know they can use them for others medication  PICC …. sorry cant be more helpful x
