I actually preferred a PICC. I had a Hickman line in, I hated the dressing changes, it really hurt my skin.. If you are possibly having a stem cell transplant the port is better, mainly because its quicker access to bigger veins.
PICCs can also block off. Ultimately both do a way better job then little old IV cannulas. Good luck!
