picc lines Vs portacath

I had a PICC line inserted after a few rounds of chemo and a few days of round-the-clock antibiotics wrecked my veins.  I only had it for a couple of weeks and hated the thing sticking out of my arm and having to shower with a plastic bag around my upper arm.  I had an infusaport inserted as a day procedure and finished my chemo on that and then started the herceptin.  I am in LOVE with my port and will miss it when it's gone.  While my oncologist could always find a vein, everybody else would have to dig around for ages - very hit and miss.  Now all my bloods at the chemo suite get taken through the port but for some reason I can't manage to convince anyone else to use it!  There's a little bump just under my collarbone but it gets completely covered by my bra strap.  Just needs a little needle prick to "hook me up" at the chemo suite and I'm done.  I've had nearly all my herceptin now and expect to have my port removed in a couple of months.
