I had an interesting conversation with the University of Washington today. They called to tell me that Jon was not a candidate for the Cyberknife and suggested chemotherapy directly to the liver at Sloan Kettering in NYC. I told them I had already talked to SK and they had nothing to offer (also Dr. Chue is anti-hepatic portal chemo since the outcomes aren't great) but asked about the Selective Internal Radiation Therapy. Low and behold they actually do that procedure at UW and my nurse coordinator was going to email the radiation oncologist who performs the procedure. It would be nice if we could have all the treatment close to home, even though I would love the opportunity to see my family in PA. I expect an answer from them tomorrow.
