Update

Dear family and friends: We went to SLC yesterday to see the radiologist about the liver directed therapy. He thinks the best course is radiation. It is an approved treatment for metastatic liver cancer so the insurance will pay for it. It will take about two weeks to get the approval from the insurance companies and then we will go back and they will map his liver with dye through an artery in his thigh. It will take about 6 hours for the mapping and the recuperation. Then 1 to 2 weeks later we will go back for the procedure. It will only take about an hour and then he will recuperate for a couple of hours again. Both are same day procedures. They will put isotopes right in the tumors to kill them. They make these isotopes in the east some where which is so much better than it used to be. They used to be made in Australia only. They are smaller than a hair. It is amazing. There is very little side effects from this and they can do it only a couple of times and then they will have to try something else. He is still feeling weak but I think he is improving slowly. We appreciate all your prayers and concern and thank our Father for you daily. Love to you all. Jolene
