Hey guys I have an appt. with a Radiology Therapist tomorrow to discuss the Sir Spheres, I am not exactly sure what he will do, I just know that he can say no to the procedure and trumps the the Interventional Radiologist's recommendation to have the procedure.So, I am really nervous about this visit. Please pray that all goes well, I will let you know how it goes. Patti

    Hi Patti- Just wondering
    Hi Patti- Just wondering about your appointment yesterday- I hope all went well and you were able to get some good information. I am new here, but have been going back through reading posts and putting together the stories. My husband is 5 months into this ordeal and Sir Spheres is on my list of things to research further.
    Hope you are well-

    Hey Kim, thanks for asking
    Hey Kim, thanks for asking about me, I went to my appt. And dr. Says I checkout well enough to do the procedure. Next step is the stunt study, apparently you can't have more than 20% shunting. They also close off veins that could send the radiation to the abdomen, pancreas etc. If all goes well then I can have the procedure around January 18th. Thanks, Patti

    Is sir Spheres the Same as theraSheres?
    It was suggested i try Theraspheres (yttrium?) but the interventional radiologist was really lame at convincing me it would be worth a try
