Caryn update

The "sirt" went very well as the dr was extremely pleased with how the seeds settled in the most active part of the tumor. She had to deal with nausea, fatigue and some pain but the drugs have helped (even though she hates taking them since they come with their own side effects). Happily she's starting to feel like herself again and we met with the Onc last week who suggested that we let her body recover more before going onto another step. The plan is to do markers and then discuss chemo or the RFA. He (the Onc) feels like he's gotten a pretty good understanding of how her cancer acts and feels comfortable taking a little more time away from a systemic approach. I'll keep you advised.
