16 April - Latest Plans

Well... we had set up the chemoembolization procedure for today, but the plan changed yesterday afternoon! The interventional radiologist that was going to do the chemoemb. talked to a fellow doctor from University of Illinois and ended up recommending that we first consider an alternate form of this treatment which uses radioactive beads instead of chemo. So, instead of doing the chemoemb. today Sarah and I will go discuss the radio-bead embolization with the doctor at U of I and we'll shoot to schedule either that one or the chemoemb. early next week.

I read several articles about this technique and it sounds fascinating & promising. We all have our fingers crossed and hearts & prayers open. Get that Yttrium 90 to work!

Love,

Bill
