Do you have a PICC line or a port? Why did you make this choice? Would you change your decision?

    I have a port and it's the best thing ever. I am able to access it myself which make it so easy to care for and fit into my everyday life when I am on IVs at home. I would never go back to PICC lines again because they are so inconvenient.I highly recommend a port if you are someone who needs IVs frequently.
