Have you had TACE or SirSpheres radiation treatment? Please share

Hi Sue,
It sounds like you had a thorough consult with the radiologist. Rather than having to make a choice, you get to try plan A, with a backup plan B in the wings. Is this the way you read it too? Seems like SIR-Spheres works well if the location can be more targeted and TACE when the solution needs to be more systemic.

Did you feel like you were listened to and got clear answers to your questions? That is so important.

Hi Colleen,
Yes, that's the way I read it too. The Interventional Radiologist seemed like a brilliant man and I liked the way he addressed all the issues. I can't wait to get this going. (The only downside so far is that it's a 3-hour trip to Philadelphia each way and it looks like it'll be several trips in the near future, ugh.)
