radio-embolization

[Donna H]

Hi-

So I am done with traditional chemo but still getting Perjeta and Herceptin every 3 weeks. My last pet scan showed the live tumor still active and its size remains unchanged. So my med onc sent me to a surgical onc to discuss liver direct therapy. Surgical onc recommends radio-embolization but I need to get a liver mri and more bloodwork to determine if I am a candidate for this. Has anyone heard of it, gone through it? I asked about removing the tumor on the liver but was told that isnt an option. Apparently the liver tumor is the doctors biggest concern right now.
