Who let the tumors out??

Yesterday I met with the PA from my oncologists office.  We discussed what happened since the Pet scan done middle of July.  In that time we met with my surgeon several times, schedule and received an MRI and had my case presented before the GI Tumor Board. 

Yesterday we brought up the question of how many tumors actually existed in my liver since we hear several different numbers at each appointment.  The PA and the rest of us read carefully through the MRI report to count the number of tumors.  We all came up with 5 Tumors including the 2 that are growing.  Again due to the number and the varied location of these tumors RFA (surgery) is not an option.  My oncologists also agreed that wait and watch is also not an option.  We don't have real answers on whether TheraSpheres are a safe option or whether we can push forward with Hepatic Artery infusion.  We will need to talk with Intervention Radiologist to get all our questions answered about safety and overall procedure.

Since we all felt Wait and Watch wasn't an option I was tossed back into a chemo schedule that started yesterday.   I will receive it every 2 weeks until We make a decision on the next major step of treatment.  Unfortunately I did not feel well the evening of treatment yesterday.

I'm hoping we come to an agreement on treatment soon.
