I will be having a liver embolization next week to shrink or eliminate the blood supply to a liver met that has stopped responding to chemo and continues to grow. It is the only met that I have (that is detectable on a CAT scan). I know some of you have had chemoembolizations and would like to hear your experiences with Post Embolization Syndrome. How painful is it? How long does it last? How many days/weeks does it take to feel more or less normal again? Were there any complications? I will be having it done at MSKCC and told to expect a 2 day stay.
