Hi Kim
I posted about Histrotripsy a while ago, but more info comes out every day. Look it up for more info. Right now, they have it at 95% success on liver tumors, but hopefully their progress will include other organs. It was approved early this year by the FDA and it's quite remarkable. My Oncology team also had not heard of it (I am in Canada), but they are working with my Seattle group now and very excited. It is extremely costly and hopefully your insurance will cover it. . Re: my multiple tumors, the non-invasive procedure shrunk some and they are waiting to see the 'Abscopal' effect. There is also something newer (not out yet) that does a similar non-invasive, trying to educate one's immune system to recognize and destroy cancer. I had the procedure in mid May and am waiting to hear the results after this 3rd CT scan. It takes awhile for my system to eradicate the remainder. I was told that I might have to go back for a cleanup of any remaining. This is my experience and I hope that others can benefit.

Please keep us updated, this could be a great tool for some cases of NET going forward if your teams agree it fits their case.
