Hi everyone,

Just curious to ask how quickly after the final infusion can the PICC line be removed? It's driving my daughter mad with how sore it is.

Thanks

  • Hi  as you know I have a different type of Lymphoma and treatment but my PICC line was taken out 30mins after my last chemo IV was finished…. it was just pulled straight out and a little plaster put over the area Wink
