Wait and see
It looks like Mom is still being considered as a potential SIR-Spheres candidate. YAAY!! They are going to redo the shunt study in 3 months. The thought is that the Avastin has affected her vasculature and that is what caused the constriction of her arteries which is what could potentially rule her out as a candidate. So we have to wait 3 LONG months and hope that the next study shows her arteries have recovered from the effects of the Avastin and she can get the beads. She will continue to receive the Folfuri chemotherapy during this time but no Avastin. I’m very nervous about that but it will be more than worth the risk of her not getting the Avastin if she is able to receive the SIR-Spheres. They have had such good results! It causes me a lot of anxiety because I feel that with cancer you are in a constant race against time and always at that delicate balance between winning and losing against it.
