Histotripsy: My experience

Yes, there seems to be a handful of us who regularly post on this board that seem to be on the same track. One thing to offer is that these 2 modalities are not exclusive, in fact many of the general clinical trials I see these days pair a chemo with the trial drug or vice versa. The IR Dr. said to continue chemo alongside the histotripsy (which is 1 treatment day). I had my Naliri 3 days after histotripsy which was great because the steroid they give with the chemo brought down the inflammation from the procedure on my liver. I pray the your health care providers steer you in the right direction! I'll let you know how I treat my peritoneal nodules. Did you have the distal or Whipple or did you have surgery? It's great that you can play golf still!

Hi there! I had the modified Whipple, kept my stomach intact. Praying for you too!
