- The PICC line (peripherally inserted central catheter) was put into my arm for the chemo to go through into my system, they also take blood really easily through it. I love it and hate it but I had NO idea this was coming and didn't understand till it happened. by then I just had to go with the flow! So if I can pre-warn you about it, you can go in with a better understanding than me!

I just wanted to thank you for this video. I was recommended to get a picc line & I didn’t want to & was upset as I was told that I could do my 4 infusions through an IV. But I got an infection & now it’s in my best interest to get one. Watching your video it made me feel better about getting it tomorrow. So thank you.
Never say your hair looks stupid..you are great and a great inspiration to all. GROW THAT HAIR AND BE PROUD of your achievements.
Thank you so much for making this video. My father is about to have a picc for his chemo for the first time and this video has eased his stress levels beyond words. I hope all goes well for the future.
Oh you have just made my day! I am so glad I could help your Father! The unknown can be so worrying which is why I make my videos to help others. The PICC line was my best friend in the end, it was all so much easier with it in, they could take blood and do what they needed to do without having to find a vein every time. I wish your Father Luck with it all, the chemo will all be over before he knows it! Thank you for watching!
Thank you so much for sharing this . Going to get my picc line put in on Monday and this video has put me at ease. Thank.u again
Here more than two years after this video was published to say you are such a sweetheart. Your charisma and positivity in the face an illness as scary as cancer is inspiring. You seem to doing well now and I’m so happy. I hope it stays that way. All the best.
on tap is how i definitely gonna refer to my picc line
Thank you for sharing this with us. I'm getting my picc line tomorrow morning and you put me more at ease about it. Hope you are doing well now, as I looked when you posted this video. I would love to know how things are going with your journey! Hopefully all is well! Thanks again coming from Louisiana in USA. 😘 😘
Thank you for sharing your experience. I am starting a new job in the ER and the patient’s side of story really helped me understand the process. Your personality is absolutely lovely, and I wish you the best of luck with your treatment
So nice of yiu for making such a Video. I am getting my PICC line tomorrow and am excited about it. Ur video helped me
You are such an inspiration
Thanks a lot, I will be having it in 2 weeks. It has been so helpful. God bless you for making it.
I love your outlook on everything
"..You're on tap..." 😂😂😂🤣 That's hilarious, made me snort!
Thank you for sharing your journey I'm getting one on Tuesday. 🌻
Your just a great picture of Gods grace. How awsome are you. Glory to God!
Wish my mother and I had seen this video before going in for a chemo picc line. Wish you well ❤️
Glad I watched this ..has prepared me
This video has been brilliant, thank you. I’m not sure if I am having a port or a PICC now because I have requested a port after arranging for a PICC. But after seeing your video I’m not half as anxious about it as I was. 🤞
Thank you im having my picc line fitted tomorrow. Im not looking forward to it as i hate needles same as yourself xx thank you for the videos xx
It would be really useful to be able to identify which video comes next ? Thank you for your vlogs !
Had mine put in three days ago no problem it's better t than having numerous needles trying to get blood etc
You have a great positive attitude and I'm sure that will help you overcome this. Best wishes to you I just subscribed also can you do a video when you get your pixie cut??
Thank you Tish! I see it as the only control I have over Cancer is how I think about it, and staying positive is the best and only thing for it! Thank you for subscribing! Unfortunately, Chemo has had other plans for my hair and I can't do my Pixie cut now :( The question now is whether to shave it all off or not! Hmmmm!
That machine they used on you also use it on the elderly to detect where the veins are so it's less stressful for them
I had 10 to 11 pick lines but one of them I had to stay up when they feed the line through my arm that was terrible , so good luck on yours hope you feel better
Thank you Louisa! Make it easier on my nerves! I get mine in 2 weeks! 💜✊🏽✌🏽💋
Thank you! Glad the video helped!! I hope it went ok!!!??? I only just saw your comment as CZcams Held it for review for some reason!
My momma had one in her chest. We call it a port in the U.S.
Omg in the US it would be anchored and protected. You only have one lumen or port, usually you would have 2 or 3. It needs to be taped so it doesn’t flap. Your hair and scarf looks fabulous. I’m sure it’s fine, just a difference. My mother passed away from cancer, hers was so fast she didn’t even get to a pic or port.
Hello...I just received my port and no one suggested in my arm or elsewhere. ..mine was inserted just below my collarbone...
Yours just flaps around like that all of the time? It should be tapped down or a sleeve shouldn’t it?
so what was ur exact diagnosis?
My wife just got the pcc she is from Scotland tough lady Dec 21 2021 kemo January
It’s called a Hickman line I like watching educated vids since I had a Hickman line as a baby I was soooo unwell I nearly dies several times xxx
How are you doing??
Wonderful talent for videoing, Louisa!! How are you know? xxx
Is it painful inserting a PICC line ?
Not painful, but it is better to get a Port. I switched from PICC Line to Port and it is so much better. Less maintenance, you can swim, shower and not worry so much like with the PICC Line.
that scarf is cool..don't shave your hair off
Do you know that ALLAH chose you cuz you are strong. If yoh have free time please read about ISLAM . This is ganna open the sky for you♡ love you
