First I pray that you are doing well. I just wanted to give you an update on what I have been doing.
After seeing the specialist in New Orleans, I saw an interventional radiologist at the University of Penn who also specializes in Carcinoid cancer. He has a less aggressive treatment plan. My tumor mets in my liver is less than 10%, my liver function test is good, my tumor markers are very low, this doctor feels I don't need the Sir Shperes or chemoembolization now. In addition to the Sandosatin injections that I get every 28 days, along with blood work, I will get MRI's every three months. Since the MRI that I had in June, I had one in January. I'm scheduled for the next one April 1st. So I an anxious to see what is going on since they have studies that show that the Sandosation has been known to shrink tumors and stop them from growing. I will see the doctor on April 8th to get the results.
I saw a gastro doctor at Penn and he agrees with the less aggressive approach.
My cancer is typical. In the event that the tumors start to grow, I will get the Sir Spheres treatment because I have read so many positive things about those magic beads.
I feel confortable with the plan and being treated by doctors close to home. All the doctors I'm seeing at Penn also specialize in Carcinoid cancer.
I feel great!!! I have not had sick day since the pain that I had when I went to the hospital in June of last year. I'm just taking one day at a time and trusting and keeping my faith. God is so good!!
