    Forgot to respond to the question as to where her tumor is located – it is in the caduet ? I’m sure I have it wrong. They did mention cyber knife, but size is currently too large for that. So, we are trying to shrink it first, and we have conflicting advice: some dr.s say embollization and some dr’s say i.v. chemotherapy. Even in the chemotherapy dept. we have conflicting info – some dr’s say to try gemzar and oxaliplatin; other dr’s say just the gemzar. I am so scared we will make the wrong decision! Which is why we are going in to Sloan in January. Any advice would be much appreciated….. Thank you all !
