Inserted Chemo Pod To Release Chemo And Shrink The Tumor For Ovarian Cancer. Common Practice?
Hi, I wonder if you could please help me. My friend has Ovarian Cancer and said she is having a 'Chemo Pod' inserted so it will release chemo every day and shrink the tumour before she has a hysterectomy. Can you tell me pls if this is a common practice as another person I know had a different type of treatment. Thank you in advance for all your help, Best Wishes Karen B
Sorry to hear about your friend's problem. Chemoports/ chemo pods are relatively common but are not mandatory for all patients. Chemotherapy given through IV lines is equally effective.
Hoping for the best.
