surgery put off
Well the visit to my onc went good today - he wants to push back my embolization surgery and try a few more chemo sessions first.
Now that we have the pain situation under control - last night felt an attack come on - took my medication and boom the pain was gone. What a relief. He thinks that being back on chemo could shrink that tumour around the bile duct back down or away as well as shrink the one around the portal vein.
That way when I do have to have the surgery - no options left - my portal vein will hopefully be in better shape and there will be less risk than at this time.
This all makes sense now that I think back - was only getting like one gallbladder attack every three weeks when I was on my old chemo and soon as I was off for 4 weeks that was when they increased to every couple days and then every day so...
will try to eat well for my liver and gallbladder - had real food today for the first time - yeah - and put my trust back in my chemo.
