We tried a couple of things, found the best result so far was a plastic safeways bag with a small hole, then slipped it over and up the arm with the baby bottle, then taped around under the arm.
Times like this i wish we had a bath...haha

Yea the tired part creeps up on you. Can sleep in the chair at the drop of a hat.
I have the PICC in my right arm, and I am right handed, makes for great fun when having a shower.
Good luck also to you my friend.

Zelfren thanks for you thoughts.
Yes I am having chemo goes like this 1 full on 4 hour dose at the clinic and for the next 3weeks the annoying "baby bottle" 24/7. Through a PICC line
This is repeated 3 session times. I am now on the. 2nd session. My age is 70 "young" 🙂
Biggest problem is nausea, the doc said today to take the nausea tablets 3 times a day, so that's what I will do now instead of when I feel nausea.. I have stage 3 esophageal cancer and they are looking for surgery after the end of this chemo treatment.
Get headaches, told doc about that today and he put me straight down for a CT scan, apprently all is well in that area.
All fun and games..haha. I must admit that the doctors and nurses are absolutely great. I not sure where you are my friend, but I am in Ballarat, Victoria , Australia.
Zelfren, my thoughts are with you mate, hang in there, and we will beat the dreaded beast.
