Hello,
my mum found out she has cancer of the food pipe, 3 months ago. She has had a PICC line inserted for around 6-8weeks now. Today she went to the hospital to have a course of chemotheraphy, and they sent her away and removed the PICC line.
I was just wondering if this was normal procedure? As they have sent her away another time before. Before she got diagnosed, she was a heavy drinker and smoker. And I believe she is still drinking and smoking at present.
Could you give me any answers regarding this please, and any help.
Thank you
Sarah
