More talk about beads

  • Appointment with Dr. P in the CAM building at Big Barnes
Dr. P is the other half of the radiology team that would be involved in the bead procedure. (Both doctors will be in the room during the procedure.) While Dr. S will be involved in mapping the procedure and getting the beads where they need to be, Dr. P will be involved in calculating the dose and ordering the spheres. The spheres are ordered specifically for me and that is part of the reason that the procedure has to be scheduled at least a few weeks into the future. My very own spheres of radiation!
Dr. P feels like it is important for me to have a plan for the peritoneal mets as well as the liver mets. He isn't completely convinced that Y90 IS the right thing for me. I mention that I am meeting with Dr. G to talk about the peritoneal mets later today though. Dr. P mentions that the members of my medical team will have a discussion after all of these consultations. *nodding my head* That makes sense. Let's get all of the information and then make the best calculated decision.
