Sorry that I forgot to blog last night as many of you were waiting to hear how Ginny's liver embolization procedure went (see previous blogs). The doctor said that she did great (the key is to give her Benadryl). She stayed overnight in the hospital and was very comfortable. We just got home, she ate lunch and is sleeping now. The doctor did the right lobe this time and will do the left lobe on Nov 9. Then we'll see how the liver is responding to this targeted concentrated liver chemotherapy treatment. On her CT scan this Monday, there were still tumors in her liver which is the reason he went ahead with the procedure. Hopefully, with her tumor marker number going down a lot (see previous blog) indicating the IV chemotherapy is working and this liver embolization chemotherapy, it dramatically reduces or eliminates the tumors in her liver.
Thanks for your continued prayers, encouragement and offers of help.
