Is Chemo balloon required for chemothera
Hi,
For my wife (age 28) doctor recommended Chemotherapy for 16 cycles for HER2 report as negative result.
For this doctor suggested to fix a chemo balloon at chest part to inject medicine directly.
Does it chemo balloon required mandatory and what will happen if we take medicine through hand like glucose.
Could you please tell difference and impacts. Which is better option to take chemo medicine.

This device is called chemoport. Other options are PICC line and IV cannula. Tough to explain here. I think we can have personal chat or phone call to discuss this.
