Neck Catheter

The one piece of equipment that will stay with you for your entire time during your HSCT treatment is the net catheter. Yes, it might change side and they do change over from a two tube catheter to three tube one at one point. However, the catheter will become simply part of you. And what a useful appendage it is. When they come to take blood tests from you in the morning, and you're barely awake, they just plug in these tubes into your neck and take the blood straight from your jugular. No needles into your arms, just a simple tube straight into your jugular vein!
