Are you still on Naliri?

Hi @mnewland99! I've done 5 rounds of Naliri, it does make me nauseous for a few days. Latest CT scan showed that my liver lesions did not grow which is good, but they suspect lymph node and peritoneal nodules which are new. CA19-9 was coming down from 309 to 118, but went back up to 209 this last time. So funny that we seem to be tracking each other! I feel like we're comrades. Anyway I tried to get into the RMC-6236 trial at Dana Farber in Boston but they didn't have room for me. I am travelling to Mayo Clinic Jacksonville for appointments next week, to see what they have for me in terms of clinical trials, and whether they think histotripsy is a good idea for me. So far my oncologists have said no, because I need to continue systemic therapy, but I don't think that precludes histotripsy. But my liver lesion might be too big for histotripsy, 6 cm. We shall see! Once my 3 days of Naliri are over with, I tend to feel OK - still playing golf on the weekends! Wishing you the best!
