Thanks Bill and Sassy. After the failure of the Navelbine two small lesion developed in my liver resulting six total. Because of my old insurance we weren't able to get anywhere with any procedures. Fortunately my dear husband get new insurance with his BC/BS of NC. With that I got approval for SIR Sphere. That cost 100g's. At the same time I'm waiting for approval for "Leukocyte Infusion Therapy" (LIFT). Already I submitted and waiting for response. It's taking a little time because it's a new trial and there is red tape to go through. They don't realize, or maybe they do, that I don't have time to wait. I've spoken with these people and they are nice. They've gotten allot of response from different places. So, it's hopeful.
Now, since I got the news that I'm approved for the SIR sphere I'm going to Disney World! Really! My family and I are meeting more family in Orlando. The SIR Sphere starts on July 30th. Last week my tumor markers was stable from the previous (4 weeks ago) check.
Sassy - I want to note that the new Onc was more supportive of the trial at Wake forest (LIFT) and the SIR Sphere. The down side, I'm only on Femara and that makes me a little on edge. I want to get started! I've haven't posted lately about me because I didn't have any good news to share.
