@rose4jim2417 I appreciate you sharing your husband's experience with Cap/Tem and Y 90. It appears that both treatments resulted in substantial tumor shrinkage.

How is your husband feeling? Is he able to eat and digest food well?

@hopeful33250, he is feeling pretty well and is able to eat and digest food. His appetite has decreased, which is not a bad thing. I have to say that he did have a flare up several months ago which resulted in targeted SBRT radiation treatments. The doctors were quick to say it wasn’t horrible news because 80% of his cancer remained the same and only 20% increased in size. He’s feeling great since his radiation treatments and we are looking forward to his next scan and results in December. We are thankful to God that even though it is stage four, it is treatable. Please try to stay positive. There are so many great treatments out there and we are so grateful to the Rogel Cancer Center at the University of Michigan and Dr. Sahai and all doctors and staff involved in Jim’s treatments.

@hopeful33250 I neglected to add that Jim has been on a land retied injection for his cancer every 28 days since the beginning of his treatment and continues to receive these.
