ommaya reservior?
Can anyone share personal experience with infusion of chemo to control BC mets to brain?
Background: Fighting it since 2001. Fairly strong her2 status. She has been on numerous cocktail and body scan look better each time. Unfortunately we haven't been getting MRI of head. Looks like that was a BIG MISTAKE!! My Maryann has just been diagnosed with a tumor a little under 3 cm in left parieto-occipital lobe plus minor (at this time) adjecent lepomeningeal and bilateral cerebellar mets.
We're in trying to converge on a preferred approach to treat and let the healing begin but down the road the ommaya reservior or similar may be recommended. Infusion would likely include methatrexate & ara-C.
