Vis a vis SBRT-
This is based on results TGen labs and Dr.Boranzanci’s experience treating this cancer for many years. I have always been told SBRT is a spot treatment but not a cure. Another”buys time” tool in the bag. I had it on a small module in my lung in March. Later scans said the module was obliterated. It was suspected cancer but not confirmed. Meeting radiologist today on my liver lesion but rethinking histotripsy. However, the area has scar tissue from resection so may not be possible(?)

Hi there gamaryanne!
How is Naliri working on the lesion? I wish you the best news on whether histotripsy might be an option. I don't like that it's a 4-hr procedure under anesthesia since the Naliri was causing a slow heart rate for me. I did decide as a trial to take 1/2 dosage of atropine which is part of the normal chemo regimen and it kept my heart rate (above 60) to a normal rate this past infusion; so maybe I'll be ok. You are lucky not to have any peritoneal nodules! You don't have the ATM mutation as I recall. Seems like several of us are in the same place, though my CA19-9 seems determined to increase, but nevertheless, I'm still walking, baking, and possibly continuing to work and it seems maybe I'll get to go to my 50th high school reunion after all; it's mid-August! I hope you are continuing to trudge and outsmart this disease as you have in the past! My rosary prayers continue for you.
