Hi there,
My mom recently underwent surgery to remove her ovaries (one was the
size of a softball). Thankfully, the surgery went as well as
could be expected; however, the doctor suspects there may be more
cancer present. So, he is scheduling my mom for chemotherapy.
The doctor and my mother are considering various options to deliver the
chemo. One option they are considering is implanting a
port-a-cath to apply chemo directly to the cancer site (i.e. her
abdomen).
While I have been able to find a fair amount of research on
port-a-caths in general, I have yet to find a comprehensive source of
information about port-a-caths as they relate to ovarian cancer.
We would be particularly interested in your opinions and the pros/cons
of the option compared to others we should be considering.
Thank you for all your help.
