Default Looks like we're going for a Port not a PICC...
After talking to my dr. and the infusion center I think I'm going to have a Port put in. It doesn't sound like fun.....but it's more permanent and doesn't move around after being installed. So now I have to get in touch with the surgeon and get an appt set up for the outpatient surgery..........any thoughts on this???
