my husband has had three Hickman lines inserted each with three lines to administer chemo, fluids, drugs etc. Hopefully once you get past the initial discomfort it will make things easier, that being said he was always hospitalized while he had the lines in place so he always had staff to look after him. It was so much easier to draw blood plus the needed chemo needed a larger line.

Hang in there, my husband's first transplant doc said they have lots of drugs to get through the more difficult times, wise words I do believe, use whatever you need to get through this bumpy road.
