Thank you so much @mnewland99! I am visiting Mayo Jacksonville in August to discuss options. I've been on Naliri for 4 infusions, CA19-9 has come down from 307 to 118 so far. Treatment is harder than Gem/Abrax but hoping it works better. My liver lesion is large, 6.2 cm, and another smaller one that SBRT didn't kill. We'll see what they tell me in Jacksonville. Best of luck to you, yes please do keep us posted!

Oh you are in good hands, Dale! I'm glad your numbers are going down! Thst didn't happen with me - numbers co tinted to climb, but I'm pretty sure it's the peritoneal nodules that are causing that. How long ago was the last scan before they realized lesion was at 6?

Thank you, will do! The 1 month follow up will let me know if the procedure worked.

@dalegantous
Where are you located? There is a high volume center doing histotripsy also in Gainesville, Ga. Just fyi

Naliri seems not to be working for me as numbers are climbing. Scan Friday and set up for SBRT unless scan shows more lesions elsewhere. Will be interested to know what exclusions may be for histotripsy. Size?Location? Etc
