you know what is funny
at least to me. Is that at my last onc visit I mentioned chemoembosization-which I know I can handle-and my DR. said, "well that is fairly toxic." And in my head, I'm thinkin', " compared to WHAT?" It is all toxic -that is the point. It is definielty a logical approach to treating liver mets and I think doing systemic at the same time can be handled by a lot of us tough ones.
Let us know what unfolds and wishing you both the best.
