Thanks Percy,

One of mom’s fiends brought her this super mushroom supplement called yun-zhi from Hong Kong, mom takes them when she remembers. If I’m not mistaken, you are also taking this supplement. We have not looked into the herbal soups at the moment, I know she will hate the taste but I will look into it.

Hi Percy,

Thank you for your reply, I did not think of asking about chemoembo or radioembo at the consultation today. I will for sure ask about them. I did ask about chemoembo at UCSF, her oncologist said it wasn’t an option at the time, I don’t know if it’s because she did not respond well to gem/cis, xeloda/oxaliplatin combos? I will ask about them again at the next visit. As far as I know, mom’s cancer has not metastasis outside the liver. She has this right shoulder pain, they ordered X-Rays to see what is going on there, still waiting for the results.

I’ve read a lot of your posts and they are so informative and helpful, I feel truly blessed that you are on this board!

Thanks for all the kind words. I feel very touched and the replies brought me tears (in a good way, if that makes sense). It’s a really warm feeling to know there are so many caring and supportive people on this site and we are not alone in this fight. I wanted to post about my mom for a while now, but needed some courage and Marion gave me exactly that!

Lainy, I really enjoy reading your stories of Teddy, your positive attitude is soooooo admirable.

Gavin, I always look for you posts in the New Developments sub forum, they give me sense of hope.

Pamela, I have been following Lauren’s journey, she is so lucky to have such a wonderful mom! Best of luck in her new treatment regimen.

MistyK, I see you are relatively new to the forum like me, I will be following your FIL’s journey, best of luck!
