Some of you asked, why didn’t I asked for a PORT instead, I had a PICC line. Well, the truth was, I was pretty sick when I was first diagnosed and there was no time to wait. For a PORT to work, I had to wait for a procedure and a couple weeks of healing time before the PORT could be accessed. I have heard patient’s story of an improper healed PORT. It could be painful during infusion or worse infection. For my 2nd time around, I had time, so I was given a choice and I chose PORT over a PICC line.
