I had a picc line for 4 months it did make transfusions and blood work much easier, but the dressing changes every week are annoying. Also, bathing during that time was difficult, because you have to wrap your arm to keep it dry. 5 months ago I had my port put it and it made life much easier. I was able to swim and exercise without troublesome dressings. I vote port as well.
