Since My last post here we had an Appointment with my Liver surgeon. Due to the location of one of the remaining tumors he is hesitant to do surgery. I can understand his risk and hesitation but his alternative he suggested is TheraSphere therapy. This is a therapy our family is very familiar with and not very excited about for various reasons. One of those is the Hospital Leah's dad had his done at has since stopped doing this type of treatment.
Since that appointment I have had an MRI to tell exactly the location of the tumor in relation to the Blood Vessel. I am personally hoping the distance allows for RFA (RadioFrequency Ablation) instead of us finding a suitable alternative.
Early tomorrow morning I meet with my surgeon again to find out what he and the GI Tumor board have discovered about my case. This appointment is effectively a fork in the road for the future of my treatment course.
More after tomorrow's appointment
