Re: Anyone chemo-embolization to liver??
Thanks for your thoughts everyone.
And thanks so much, fullofbeans, for your feedback
I met with my onc yesterday to talk about the procedure.
Right now, I'm doing 3 more rounds of Ixempra/Herceptin, then will do the chemoembo w/Adria during my "off" week.
I asked about the potential cardiotoxicity of the Adria & Herceptin done so closely, but she said that since the Adria is local therapy, and a fairly small dose, it shouldn't cause a problem.
I don't know how many times we'll repeat this regimen, before we scan again, but I'll meet with the IR as the date gets closer.
June 8 is the target date for the chemo-embo.
Keeping fingers crossed that plans don't change again.
Just want to get my poor liver treated as soon as possible.
Thanks again, everyone.
