I want to marry my Hickman Line
It took a melt down just after my last round of EC chemo to find just an ounce of courage to finally bite the bullet and get a hickman line. And believe me it was only an ounce of courage that I could...
Thats correct. The line is on the outside of my skin. It has an entry point on my chest and is attached to my vein. My sister has a port and it sounds like ours are attached to the same vein except my protrudes from the skin and dangles. It hurt when they first put it in but my skin has recovered and I dont feel it at all.It has plugs at the end and thats where I get attached to the IV.
