It is that time again

Chemoembolization number 2. I think I just like writing that because no one knows what the heck I am talking about. It is funny I had to explain exactly what it was to my regular doctor because apparently it must be special. Oh so special me.

I am off tomorrow to get the second one of these things. We are leaving at 6:00ish and getting to Philly at 8:00ish. Then at 8:00am Wednesday I start the process again. 85% effectiveness. I hope so. They have not measured anything so two of these will be past and then we will be able to find out what the verdict is. Scans cannot be done until time has passed for the liver to heal somewhat. Apparently whenever there is a change to the body done from surgery the area "lights up" and it is hard to measure exactly what is going on. So all of these weeks waiting to have good blood to do these chemoembolizations and we will not know how awesome they are for another 5-6 weeks.

I hope to be back home on Thursday so I will make an update when I feel like I can actually read. I swear all the drugs made it hard to concentrate. I enjoy reading but didn't read one book while I was off the first time. Anyway...I welcome any prayers. Prayers for effectiveness and for protection so that I do not end up with an infection or a sick liver. Thanks friends! Hopefully I will be back here at home with the computer before I know it!
