Yes, my oncologist is telling me that he'd like to use either microwave, radiation or the radioactive beads on the tumor on my liver. Thing about CT scan is that it is extremely hard to see small metastases in the peritoneum on a CT scan. Dr. Alewine at the NIH told me this and my oncologist is in agreement. So, he's trying to get me set up for another laparoscopic surgery to physically inspect that area for this. If there are none there, he wants to move forward with the radiation, microwaves or beads on the liver tumor. If there are small metastases in my peritoneum, then I guess it's back to chemo. I would not like to go through chemo again. And carrie40, your post gives me something to hope for. Thanks.
