Ditto for my dad. They suspended “regular” chemo when he started the chemoembolization. Seems to me he went one round of regular chemo. Three rounds of embolization (got good shrinkage). Then started back on IV and oral chemo.

Kris,
When my mom had chemoembolisms done they were not done in conjunction with systemic chemotherapy. I do not know if a human could physically endure both at the same time. For her they worked really well and actually ended up shrinking her tumor enough to resect – but then it spread right before the surgery and the surgery was cancelled. They were really really hard on her but then she would get better after a few weeks and go right back to work (I think she had it done three times – each time the tumor died more and more). Hope this helps!
