Cancer Update

I am not good with words or writing if you have not guessed so far from my earlier posts. I apologize in advance.

I had my second radio-embolization (Y90) this past week. It seems that was a last ditch effort as my previous chemotherapy showed no effect after living through the worst diarrhea I have ever had. The goal here is to knock down the cancer so that I am a candidate for surgery to remove the diseased portion of my liver.

It takes about three months to determine how the radiation worked.

Currently the worst part is the gas produced by the cancer that is so close to my stomach. Both flatulence and belching. Not pleasant but not sure if I can control it.

Pray or wish me luck as you will.
