Chemotherapy is an intravenous process with a port that is usually put in around the shoulder area. A cocktail of medications that has been specially mixed to fight the particular type of cancer will then be given through the port.

Information on spinal tap chemotherapy?

Chemotherapy treatments vary just like cancers vary and people vary. But I'll tell you what it was like for my teenage son to receive chemo through his spine: A lumbar puncture (LP) was performed several times during his months of chemotherapy. Each LP consisted of draining spinal fluid to test for the presence of cancer cells (he had lymphoma) and to administer chemotherapy directly into his spine. Before the procedure, he was given drugs to sedate him and to help him forget the procedure. Nurses held my son's knees up while he laid on his side while the doctor was performing the LP. The procedure itself never lasted very long (less than 15 minutes). Afterwards, my son usually slept and sometimes had a headache.
