chemoembolization
Has anyone had one or know someone who has. I am afraid this might be my last option. I have had two treatments of Carbo, Abraxane and Herceptin and since I started in March my tumor marker has gone up from 113 to 160 and today it's 257!. I am scared and don't know what to do my doctor mentioned this to me the visit before last and I wanted to know if it works it seems everything is failing me and fast. Please please any information will be appreciated. It's so hard to believe anything will help me at this point I feel horrible all the time and have been in and out of the hospital a few times these past few months I don't want to give up hope but it is so hard I am so sad right now.
I love you all!
