The first embolization I felt nothing and the doctor told me he was worried I’d be in a lot of pain because of the number of vials he used. For me on the third day my body starts shaking and I was getting bad night sweats. It was the same every time I had the embolization, I still felt bad on the 4th day but it starts to get better from there. My tumors are confined to my liver and my doctors feel positive about the results so far. I can eat whatever I want again I just have to do it in moderation, but I have changed my diet to having ensure plus in the morning with some sort of breakfast, I’ve reduced my overall beef intake and I eat chicken more often, you really have to focus on the protein as I lost over 40 pounds during this period because of my lack of appetite. God bless my wife for trying everything under the sun to get me to eat ( it really helps to have a partner pushing you) wishing you the best Harley.
