Yes, the waiting game! I waited I think for 1.5 months to get into the actual histotripsy procedure which is tomorrow now due to a cancellation they had. I do not fancy 4 hrs of anesthesia since my condition has been on a fast downward spiral this week; weak. Would you consider histotripsy? Now I wish I had done the 6236 trial city of Hope offered me, though at the time I had no "measurable" disease and drs from other facilities had said I had 1 too many sessions of chemo to have qualified. I believe the city of Hope doc thought the session when I was on cisplatin didn't count since that was the typical for my set of mutations, but who knows for sure. Thank God that you don't have the peritoneal metastasis! We do need a miracle!!I'll be praying for us now and later.

Cisplatin not typical

Unfortunately, you can't change what already is done. Keep moving forward the best that you can physically, mentally, and emotionally. That is all that you can ask of yourself. Go into tomorrow with a positive attitude. I personally am excited for your histotripsy. My liver has a lot of cancer. If/when my chemo stops working, my doctor has discussed histotripsy as an option. Please let us know how tomorrow goes ok? We are cheering you on!
