Yes. My treatment is done thru a PICC line that is placed and removed the same day as the treatment. My veins are not good and even the placement of the PICC line is an ordeal.
Thanks, trying to figure out why a PICC line would be necessary. Guess I could understand it if it was for an elderly patient with poor veins. I go 8/19 for my Theranostics consult so hopefully I’ll find out.

IV, day of procedure. Already had a chemo port, but they wouldn't use that for radiation.

3 ReactionsMy PRRT was through 2 IV lines as well. Worked great. Im curious why the PICC line. My care was at Mayo. Maybe others have different protocols.
