Its been a pretty wild 7 days. After my scans earlier in the month showed a 40% decrease in tumor size(35 tumors) my Oncologist suggested that I wouldbe eligible for a liver resection. This gave me a lot of hope as it changes the 5 year survival rate from 11% to aound 50%. I talked to my liver sugeon on Friday and was disappointed to hear that I still wasn't eligible because of the lack of tumor free liver(about 15%). He did say that I was probably a candidate for what is called Y90 radioembolization, in which they send radioactive seeds into your liver tumors via femoral artery, and scheduled an appointment for me this morning with an Interventional Radiologist. After much research this seemed like a pretty good option.
I met the IR on Zoom this morning and was told I wasn't a candidate for the Y90, not because of my health or situation, but because my tumors are either dead or inactive. I asked him how did they know that, he said tumors on scans are lit up, and all of mine are not. He did say they could reactivate or go somewhere else but for now its great news. He said the Y90 would be useless because there is no active tumor for the Y90 to seed(if that makes sense)
Sorry for rambling. I acutally became emotional when he was telling me this. So the plan is continue chemo for now and scan again in about 6 weeks.
Life goes on my friends:)
