I Actually Have Options???????

Wow, that was a cool visit. But first my scans...I had them last week, and met with my new onc about them today, and I must say, I think I like him a whole hell of alot better then my old one who just moved...he was so easy to understand, so comforting, and answered my questions like they should have been, not being so vague, but being clear. The tumors are all still contained in my liver, none anywhere else, lungs clear, but there is a small percentage of growth in a couple of the tumors. (I cried when I heard that)I remember asking how many tumors I had in my liver to my old onc, and she said "your liver is like shattered glass" that's all she said, so I figured they were all over my liver, loads of them, like shattered glass! Well, he told me I only had 8-10 tumors, the biggest one, having no activity at all, the little ones having just a 1 mm growth. He suggested me to try FOLFOX..this is the chemo I was dreading, and scared of, hearing all the horror stories, OR he also wants me to talk to this radiologist about something called Radio Spheres??? he said it's been around a little while, and the only bad thing about it, is it's temporary. They mark the tumors, and blast them with these glass beads I believe he said, but they will come back, and they can just keep doing that, he said he wanted to give me a break from the chemo, so, I said I may be interested...

I just wanted to ask you guys if anyone has done this? and what do you think? My old onc never even suggested anything else like this to me, and he was on her team. He told me sometimes 2 different eyes are sometimes better then one

The plan is to just do 4 rounds of Oxy, as he does not want the neuropathy to be bad on me, and then give me a break from the chemo and do the spheres...I definitely could use the break, that's for sure, and it doesn't sound like it's an invasive surgery, but he does want to set up the meeting with the doctor for that, and ALSO a referral to a genetics doctor, where he will do a more thorough genetics testing on me, he said if Folfox don't work, there are alot more cocktails he wants to try, including clinical trials. He will not give up on me he said. I felt alot better when he said people have been doing this and are alive after many years, I said I would be happy if I was to see my grandchild, and he said "Of Course!" We gotta get working again

So far, this first treatment of Oxy, actually hasn't been bad, I been drinking warm stuff, not touching any cold, I got my gloves out! LOL..and my nausea pills out and maryjane of course, but guess I'm now in the club of doing the both the Folfiri, and now the Folfox! I hope this works, and stops it in its tracks! anyone has done Radio Spheres, please let me know your thoughts on it.

Thanks all for listening!
Hugsss!
