| CT results good for SIR-Spheres | Views: 96 |
We met with Dr. Kane today and it sounded like the CT-Scan results we good. So they gave the go-ahead to do the next study. Mom will have the 2nd study, the shunt study, next Thursday. This study will look to see how the plumbing of Mom’s arteries to and from her liver work and see if she has a “backwash†effect in any of them. This could lead to the radiation being scattered and transported to other parts of her body which could be catastrophic. If she has good plumbing and no backwash then she should be approved for the SIR-Spheres. (Other than the insurance problem we have talked about before!) This will be the final pre-qualification test for the SIR-Sphere procedure.
Mom will be travelling to Texas this week with Jay to finish packing and moving from their house in Bandera. They are trying to sell the house and move more permanently to Colorado to be closer to Mom’s doctors and hospital and to get out from under the burden of the additional house payment. Jay will be trying to find a job there soon. I will let you know how thier trip goes and the results of the shunt study ASAP!
