Stephany,
The central line was vital for me, because my veins are so small that I had to be stuck several times. Without the central line my veins started to burn during treatment. They can also draw blood from the central line so those weekly blood counts will be less painful too.
It's your mom's call, but I still recommend the central line if she's to have anymore than 2-3 treatments.
