    I'm seeing Dr Kunz. Very nice lady. In charge of many trials, which she putb my name down for. I loved Stanford and all their hidden gardens.  I sat out in one of the gardens with Winter.   Great meeting her.

     

    The Stanford staff are all driven in customer service, very impressed. 

     

    Thank you all so much, I am excited about this.

    Prayers

    Prayers for a huge success on the 16th and I'm sure it can't come fast enough.  It's the anticipation for the date, but once it's over its all worth the wait.  Make sure you keep us up to date.  Wishing for the best.

    Labs then done for today

    Doing radiation and cyber knife up here at Stanford in the next week or two. Getting the mets out and take a break from chemo.  Cyber knife for lungs will take 3 days so I will stay up here and one day to zap liver.   They will call and schedule as soon as she talks to radiologist.   Looking up. 

    Wow So Happy to hear the Plan

    You were here on the board when I needed support. So happy to hear you have an aggressive plan. Prayers for good results and a Quality of Life.

    Thank you Liver Chemoemobilization 7/16

    Thank you, since I'm not on chemo, my CEA is over a thousand and my liver lesion has doubled. My ONC does not want me to have the lung cyber knife and thinks I need to do chemo, that the procedure is too invasive. Dr Yen and Dr Kunz both think I need a chemo break and that even if another lesion comes up they can deal with it. This is all so confusing. I asked ONC could CEA be going up because my liver lesion is growing and he said possibly. He wants to start me on FLOFOX next week.

     

    Again thank you, I have this on my mind all my waking hours.

    and my thoughts are with you. It is so confusing to hear so many different opinions. It seems like there would be an easier way. I'm sorry they are not in agreement. My best wishes

    Have you talked to them about

    Have you talked to them about radioembolization. Very similar to chemoembolization except that they inject radioactive beads into the tumor. I just had it done.

    Several months ago I seeked the opinion of 3 interventional radiologist at s major hospitals. One suggested chemoembolization the other two suggested radioembolization so the majority ruled in my case. It will still be a few months before we know how effective the treatment was.

    Sounds confusing, how frustrating!  What are you going to do?  I hope you can get a plan going and start some action to get rid of those mets.  Are you moving too?  Thinking of you on this day hoping you are getting something done.
