    Candy – my husband was diagnosed in March 07 and had his first drains put in the first week of April. At first he had tons of problems with them and had to have them changed out 7 times in just over a weeks time. He went all summer with no problems then in November he started having problems with them again and has had to have them replaced 5 times. They really don’t bother my husband at all, we were told from the begining that they can be very problematic and our doctor doesn’t seem to keen on placing metal stents just yet. – Colleen

    Hi Charlene!
    My husband has had 4 chemoembolizations since May. Before the treatments started we were told they would do up to 3 back to back treatments, maybe a 4th and each treatment would be about 6 weeks apart. The side effects were different for each. Some with very little pain some with a lot. He was nauseous for a couple of days after each of them, but not so bad that he couldn

    Rick, Stacie and the entire Clements Family –
    I love the new site! What a great tribute to make to Mark. I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have this great community of loving and caring people to turn to for support.
