HI Kay,
Have you looked into microspheres or sir spheres? A recent post out here showed good results for sir spheres treatments.
ashleyKay…I am sorry to hear the news about the development of the two new tumors. On this board we have seen it frequently for one tumor to shrink and for others to appear. Certainly, I agree with your thought of searching out another opinion and certainly, I would make an appointment with his radiologist. Depending on the size of the tumors and the location, radiation may be recommended. This cancer is full of surprises something, we witness every day on this board. Hang in there, other options have not been ruled out as of yet. Please, keep up your spirits and positive thoughts.
Best wishes,
MarionHi all,
Dad’s PET scan came back today and showed the tumor they have been targeting since August is gone, it was near the bile duct. Although, they said there is now two spots on his liver which appears to be cancer. The onclogist basically told him he has two options…trial and may try some other chemo. He has been on Cisplin/Gem. I seriously doubt these are our only options… can someone please tell me what we should be doing now. I told him to make an appointment with the surgeon and his radiolist for some more advice. I also told him to think about the Mayo Clinic becasue we have one here in Phoenix. I seriously feel ill. I was not prepared for this. There was no spots in his liver in October but now there is?? Does it move this fast???
