@wku That's my main objective as well, to find out what the treatment options are now, so I can evaluate them some and be able to provide input back to the doctor. My cancer started in the colon, but has spread to lymphs. In the last couple years also to the liver. There were two lesions in the liver that were not responding to the chemo, so doctors recommended a targeted treatment together with the chemo: Y90. I had the Y90 done last October. There was a mapping of the blood vessels by entering a vein in the groin area and moving up to the liver. Then two treatments, one for each of the two largest leisons. The Y90 seems to have been quite effective and has reduced the size of the liver lesions. I wish you the very best as you work through these challenges. Berny

@berny Thanks. I would like to add that as of yesterday my cea numbers showed the first sign of a decrease. Down from 49 to 45. Not much but in the right direction. Will have to wait for the next ct scan and pet scan to see if it has gone to roost elsewhere.
