More Good News

I saw my doctor today and my blood counts have improved so much I started a week of chemo today. The good news is that the embolization is working better than anyone could have hoped. The tumors are dying rapidly and there are many tumors effected. The doctor can't say if it is the embolization alone or the combination of that and the I.V. chemo. Regardless, he doesn't want to change anything and he wants me to have the embolization on the left lobe of the liver in about two weeks. If everything continues to improve, I may be able to get that transplant after all. Thanks for all your prayers.
Love,
Darlene
