my onc said that rad to my liver will shrink the mets and lessen pain. just wondering how long/how many sessions this would take.
Answer:
It depends on the size of the liver damage & swelling. Usually the radiation helps within 2-3 sessions, but speak to your doctor if you have any problems, If you're having a lot of pain, please tell him or her. There are so many drugs available for you to take to ease your pain now you should be more comfortable with them.See if he will order palliative support for you. Good luck.
Answer:
You can go to http://www.cyberknife.com/forum.aspx and post your questions there pertinent to your particular situation. You can also click on the liver category and read the posts already answered which might very well answer your question above and others you might have. This is a particularly good forum since physicians answer the questions as well as patients who may have been treated who can tell you the pros and cons of different treatments. Even though this is a CyberKnife forum, the physicians who respond have treated patients with various forms of therapy and won’t hesitate to tell you what might be best for your particular situation. I wish the best of luck to you and your family and stay positive!!
