Hi @vince, a port would be alot kinder and easier than a picc line given the length of your treatment. My Mum had a picc line in for 6 weeks it was horrible as the lines stay outside your body and become a nuisance, like being hooked up to an iv drip without the pole and bag. I had a port for my 15 months of treatment, inserted under my upper arm under the skin. Other than the initial few weeks a bit of bruising I didn't even know it was there. Makes treatment so much easier, so I'd definitely got port over picc
Good luck with your treatment
