Patient creates personalised lace covers to hide insertion lines when undergoing chemotherapy

Terri was first diagnosed with cancer when she was 28 years old. Thirty-three years later, she had to battle cancer again and undergo chemotherapy. The peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line that she had to keep due to the chemotherapy treatments made her feel uncomfortable. She decided to sew some cover that could mask the PICC line.

“I found the PICC line a constant reminder of this horrid illness, plus the fact it was very hot and I wanted to wear short sleeves without my PICC line being on display.”, she mentioned.
