Re: Radiating tumors
Hi Marie,
I had RFA on my liver tumor last Feb.25. I have been NED since then and I am now on Herceptin and tykerb.
It was a very easy procedure for me. It was not done because I couldn't withstand surgery. The wonderful surgeon I met with actually encouraged me to go with the RFA first, and said I could always have resection in the furure if I needed it.
but, both the surgeon and interventional radiologist said that they would only do a liver procedure on me if I had no other mets, such as bone or lung mets.
