My husband had a PICC at the end of his treatment and hated it. He said he could feel it going to his heart. He had some pretty bad pain after it was removed from imflamation. He doesnt mind the PEG but couldnt wait to have the PICC removed.
Just to give a clue on care of the PICC. You have to wrap it when you take a shower with saran wrap so water doesnt get to it.
Also bought cheap crew socks and cut the toe out so that the heal of the sock is on the elbow.
Good luck and hope your experience is better than ours.
