Thank you for the feedback. I wish you luck with your chemo treatments.

How did they decide on your 3 dose chemo?

Did you feel the PET scans didn't show anything different than the CT scans ?

Thanks!
It’s 3 sessions and then 1 week off. I think I do this for 3 months to see if it works and if it doesn’t then they might try radiation, but with many lesions in my liver my oncologist doesn’t feel radiation would be very effective for me as they try to target 1 spot, but then may miss another. If that doesn’t work, then I would like to try the clinical trials route.
It seems I had cancer on my hepatic artery during my 5FU chemo which was just keeping it at bay since ca19-9 was within normal limits but but 4.5 months after chemo ca19-9 it rise but the PET scans didn’t show anything, only the mri did since they are flat lesions. I wish you a good road ahead.
