There doesn't seem to be any new significant findings, so that's good. There are always a few things in the detailed report that I want to discuss with Dr. T, sometimes it's just the way things are worded or maybe it's something that hasn't been mentioned in a report before. But overall, the summary is that the liver tumors are responding well to the cryoablation and Y90 procedures. So we'll focus on that and wait to meet with Dr. T next week to see if he still recommends Folfori. My guess is that he will, since the liquid biopsy test from August showed an increased number of cells in my blood with my cancer's genomic alteration.
Guardant is the company that has been processing my liquid biopsy tests and I think this information from their website is useful:
What are genomic alterations and why are they important to cancer?
Genomic alterations are changes that occur within the DNA of cancer cells. Some of these changes accelerate the growth of cancer.
