    Our hematologist/oncologist, DrLattanzi of the New London Cancer Center was relentless in searching for the source of the blood clots. He made our connection with Yale New Haven and together the doctors have pushed for my cutting edge treatment.

    Thank you all for the warm welcome!


    @marions     and @lainey thank you so much for the welcome and we plan to do a lot of research from previous posts and hope for the best in terms of the opportunity for resection or surgery,

    We’re also exploring 2nd and 3rd opinions for treatment options from major cancer centers as recommended.


    @Iowagirl     we had a similar experience with a lot of guess work from our doctors about what was causing the clots but we should note that my dad also has a PFO ( hole in heart) which has complicated things a bit.

    Best,
    Gavin (Michael’s son)

    I should mention that the radioembliziation was a radioactive seed, not chemo.

    I am feeling fine! While the stroke set back my cognitive abilities a bit, I feel good. I am waiting to hear in a couple of weeks how the radioemboliziation worked. I am working every day ( real estate) which keeps my mind off my condition. I am positive!
