It's me again.
Everything had been going swimmingly. Just had a PET scan and poof - two mets in the right lobe - about 1.7cm or so. They did an ultrasound to see if they could be localized for an ablation but apparently I now have the liver Cherbourg goose and because of the chemo induced steatosis (fatty liver) they couldn't visualize the lesions.
So it was off the the MRI machine on Saturday and now the wait for results. We discussed the options but couldn't really come up with anything definite until the liver surgeon takes a gander (see what I did there) at the MRI. I could still be a candidate for a surgical ablation as opposed to a percutaneous ablation or it could be TACE or maybe even two wedge resections. Hopefully Monday or Tuesday it will all come clear.
For sure though it will be a chemo change - from Xeloda and Avastin to FOLFIRI most likely. I guess that means back on the pump every two weeks. I did hear that sometimes they use those pump balls so there is none of that clicking during the night.
Well, it could be worse.
