Considering Histotripsy

Posted by ap47 @ap47, Jun 24 10:25pm

I have Stage IV cancer in the transverse colon, liver, and slightly in the lungs. Today finished 10/12 infusion cycles. CEA has gone from 280 in February to 8 in today's blood test. Tumors are much reduced. The main concern is the liver. I had several consultations at Barnes and decided that their proposed treatment was too demanding for this 80 year old. I am considering histotripsy.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Liver Cancer Support Group.

Extensive bloodwork is scheduled for the 25th and a meeting with my regular oncologist.

The histotripsy is on for the 31st at Rush, Chicago, under Dr. Jordan Tasse.
