I didn't have a picc line but my veins in my left arm absolutely copped a battering! Towards the end of my chemo the nurses just knew to use the vein in my hand as it was pointless trying for any other...... I strongly advise, and so should your team, that you don't use your affected arm at all......I actually wear a bracelet to warn not to use my right arm for bloods, blood pressure or needles. I don't have lymphodema and have never really had any trouble, other than cording, with my affected arm and i would like to keep it that way! Best wishes with the rest of your treatment...you're almost there! <3
