New treatment

Hi all. Thought I would bring you up to date on my situation. The chemo has stoppped working so we're moving to the next thing - T.A.C.E. (Trans Arterial Chemo Embolization). I will have two treatments the first one will be this friday and the 2nd will be the following friday. There's some good clips on youtube about it. It's cutting edge technology and has only been in use a few years. It will be done here in Bristol so that's good not to have to travel somewhere. I'll stay overnight and come home Saturday then will be able to return to work on Tuesday. In the procedure, they thread a small catheter up a leg artery to the artery to the liver. Then they squirt microscopic beads laced with a chemo agent (they are going to you rubrobycin on me) into each tumor artery until they are completely full and there is no blood flow to the tumors. This is a double frontal attack in that it shuts off the blood supply to starve the tumors and also puts the chemo agent dircetly on the tumors and their beds. BTW the clot that was in the vein that drains the liver is gone. I started to get out and ride up to the shop yesterday but decided not to. Have a GREAT and wonderful week and thank you for your continued prayers.
