I have mucinous pancreas cancer on the tail & I had 2 lesions on my liver. I have been receiving chemo for the past 16 months. During this time, one of my liver lesions kept getting smaller and disappeared. My oncologist presented my case during a web chat about tumors and possible treatments. All the doctors felt I was a good candidate for radioembolization of my liver lesion. This procedure uses very, very tiny glass beads that have radioactive isotopes attached to them. The beads are then placed in a blood vessel near your groin & the beads are placed in the blood vessel that is feeding the lesion. Before this procedure, they map the blood vessels so none of the isotopes end up in the lungs or else where. I had Dr. Sarah White at Froedert Hospital in Milwaukee, Wi. I was told this procedure was usually done for liver cancer patients. I had this done on Feb. 9, I was awake during the procedure but had been given meds to relax me. I was told the main side effect would be feeling very tired & I was very tired most of February! You also need to keep drinking lots of fluids to flush out the liver. Fortunately this only affected 15% of my liver & it's supposed to regenerate. I'm having a CT on Thursday, so Dr. White can see what if anything happened to the liver lesion and I will be seeing her on March 12, to hear the results. I was told the FDA had approved this procedure 6 months ago but they have been using this for over 20 years. My husband & I were blown away when this was explained to us. We are hopeful to see positive results.
