I don't like one treatment my doc described where it would block the artery into my liver and cut off the blood supply to the tumors, as that could cause liver failure. I might have to just refuse that one. I am not keen on a transplant, either, though that has never been discussed. My liver works just fine and I like it that way, so once this current treatment is done, I can enjoy a brew or two again.
I feel for you two with the radiation and so many treatments. I have had over 20 cycles of chemo and they say that is more than most receive, but more than 30 radiation treatments... wow, that blows me away. Getting poisoned every 2 weeks doesn't seem so bad compared to that.
