Port's are generally in the chest, PICC's are generally in the upper arm. I think port's are shorter term access?? I'll have to look it up.Renahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18240705702812471020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-78517684417601082.post-28058193136765819082009-12-11T21:37:14.781-08:002009-12-11T21:37:14.781-08:00But don't people have a lot of problems with p...But don't people have a lot of problems with ports? I've heard horror stories of infections and such. My veins suck, though, so I may have to do that.

You keep the same line in, and they can use it for administering meds as well as blood draws. --C U soon! Love your positive attitude!

Sorry t...I agree with mom and dad. Good attitude.<br /><br />Sorry to hear the Tykerb & Xeloda might not be effective. Sounds like you're following my treatment drug by drug. I was Gemzar and Herceptin combo for awhile. Never did the Neratinid, though. Never heard of it.<br /><br />Glad things are settling down. Gotta figure when things go all the hell, there's only one direction to go from there and that's up.Liz Kregerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02877308707153108891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-78517684417601082.post-80431326291687570382009-12-11T11:26:18.454-08:002009-12-11T11:26:18.454-08:00Thanks, all of you O-G's!

We all "could" or "might" have a lot of things come up in January that aren't what we'd like but today we're okay...today we are safe and warm...so let's worry about January when January gets here. One day at a time...wow I sound like a self help brochure :) But the words are true. Today you are loved...admired...and appreciated. Go with that!Cat, Jeremiah, Finn and baby limpethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12289972118028547113noreply@blogger.com
