I have PICC in my right arm, cant use my mastectomy left side. Also veins in right arm so deep and keep collapsing which made blood drawing and chemo a whole lot more painful than it should have been. Have had the PICC for last 2 chemos with 2 to go. It has made it painless. Cant say it was painless to have installed though, was supposed to take half hour and took three and a half, lots of pain, lots of tears and trauma and terrible bruising that is now fading one month later. But had chemo again today and everything to do with the infusions and blood drawing was painless so have to recommend this type of proceedure, port or picc same diff.
Good luck, Louisa:)
