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?

New lesion at 6 cm was discovered at first CT scan after SBRT, so roughly May 16th (I had SBRT the first week of March). Last CT scan showed the lesion is still at 6 cm. Doing another CT scan July 30th. Although my CA19-9 is coming down, that will tell whether Naliri is having any effect on the existing lesions.

SBRT seems to have killed the subcutaneous tumor I had in my belly, but did not seem to kill the lesion that I already had in Section 7 of my liver. The new larger lesion crosses sections 5 and 8.

I go to Mayo Clinic Jacksonville in August, my goal is to see what clinical trials or procedures I can get into there.

Appreciate all your thoughts!
