Health update

I didn't want to spoil my Train Spotting post with bad news, so here is a separate post.

I saw the interventional radiologist on Friday.  They did an ultrasound, and it took a really long time because they had a hard time getting clear views of the two tumors we were aware of.

The doctor then compared the new ultrasound views with the MRI and the CT that he had on file.

He came back and said no. 

It appears that there are more lesions that we first thought, but none of them can be clearly visualized, and he called my doctor, and they agreed that I should go back into chemo before we do any other kind of treatment.

He said it's likely that I will be a candidate for either the radio embolization (different from the ablation, the embolization uses tiny radioactive beads that go into the liver via blood vessels), or the chemo embolization, after systemic chemo does its work.

I will find out on Tuesday if I am going to have to go back to the chemo chair for IV treatments, and lose my hair in the winter again, OR, if I can take it orally like we did the last time.

Bald with constant mouth sores, or just constant mouth sores..... we'll see.

So, that's that.  I am beyond disappointed, and I am scared.
