Port or PICC
I am at the place where I need to make a decision about a port or PICC line. I am actually halfway through my first round of decitabine (Dacogen). The nurses doing my chemo are talking to my medical team about getting this done while my platelets aredecent (80 at last count).
I am curious about other's preferences. I am leaning towards a port as it is less work for me, even though it is more invasive to put in. I understand it can stay in longer also.
