Previously my surgeon wanted to wait and watch the tumors. This is not an option according to me or my Oncologist. Thus the reason we started Chemo last Thursday. Yesterday I got a call from my Oncologist to talk about treatment options. Two options are TheraSpheres or Hepatic Artery Infusion. During our conversation he indicated He would personally choose TheraSpheres over Hepatic Artery Infusion were he in my case. I respect his opinion but still have reservations about the procedure. He is referring me to talk with one of the Radiologists who perform this procedure in town. This will allow us to get our questions answered about TheraSpheres and Carcinoid vs Carcinoma Cancer.
He also thinks it wise for us to see a second opinion to help us objectively decide which treatment option would be safest and best. He is referring us to University of Michigan to get what we hope is an unbiased opinion.
Both of these appointments should happen within the next few weeks. Until then we are hanging on for the ride.
