A member asked:
Will chemotherapy for breast cancer have any effect on functioning of a vp shunt ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hydrocephalus : No. Chemotherapy does not have an affect on the functioning of ventriculoperitoneal shunt. Infection and other medical problems can bring out the symptoms of hydrocephalus and it may appear that the shunt has malfunctioned but that is often not the case. Remain focused on beating the cancer and all the best to you.
