is it safe picc line on the plane and for it to stay for more than 33 weeks for herceptin??

Picc line is out yaayyy.... just came back from hospital... it was absolutely painless.
Yesterday I called my insurance to find out and they said herceptin by injection is not covered it is only covered if administered through IV/picc/port. So I called my bcn and she said she'll try to discuss this with my mo. 3 hours later she called back and told me that I'll go through public for my herceptin injections and my picc can come out tomorrow. what a relief...so grateful for my wonderful bcn...makes my life easier. Now I better get everything ready for Christmas...doing a happy dance now ☺☺
