Histotripsy: My experience

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!

Did you have MRI guided SBRT to two separate areas in one cycle of treatment?I have been reading more about this and I am scheduled for a planning scan of my liver this Thursday.
I did SBRT in Mar h on a small module in my lung and last scan showed it gone.

However, this spot in my liver requires MRI and is in a more “delicate” spot. A bit nervous I understand our organs do move when we breathe!
