The thing is. They cant be sure. The mass per say was still there which could have been alot of scar tissue , however my c19-9 went down to 7 so they were extremely encouraged that it killed cells
Im hoping thats still the case. As the radiation apparently still works doing its job for a few months after treatment
the above was after 2 months and my next scan in 2 weeks will be 5 months
I originally was stage 3
With vein involvement The surgeons …I had 2 opinions gave me @ a year / 2 years maybe after surgery before mets occurred and told me most likely Id have complications. Which is why I went with radiation that hopefully can give me more time Without being layed up
Its not a cure and in my opinion either is the surgery unless they catch it stage 1 or 2
The oncological world consider s living 5 years curable. But most have recurrences
And Dr Chuong the radiation Dr and my almost surgeon Dr Asbun , told me this mri proton rad has been in use @6 years so its not fully vilified yet so they cant out right say its as good as surgery until more studies are done @10 yrs) but they have high hopes with what they are seeing …
And I read an article about athe anderson foundation that donated a $100 million to Mayo to build more of these proton machines so they must have faith its a good option
MCI has @6 or 8
