First Treatment Complete

I received my first Y-90 Radioembolization treatment yesterday. It was another tiring 12 hour day, but everything went pretty smoothly. I am sore and queasy, but feel pretty good. Thankfully, the medicines seem to be helping control the pain and nausea. Dr. Martinez gave me a really heavy dose of radiation to the tumor on the left lobe of my liver. The next procedure is scheduled for November 15th. He will focus on the two tumors on the right side. Because of their location, he cannot get to them directly. He will give me a small dose of radiation to that general area. He said he will treat the tumor on my left side again that day. Two weeks after that, he is going to use some other type of procedure called RFA to directly blast the two tumors on the right. Then, I will get a scan two weeks later to see if the tumors responded to the treatments. I am also scheduled for chemo to continue during this time. It sure seems overwhelming thinking about all of this and what I have to put my body through. However, I know it is what I have to do to attack the cancer. I am just praying that all of this works, so I can get a break for awhile. Thank you so much for all of your prayers. Keep them coming!!
