SIRsphere treatment

Just a quick word to let you know that Matthew had his SIRsphere treatment on the liver yesterday. All went well and Matthew is resting this morning. With the pre and post treatment process, the day was long (9am to 6pm) and exhausting but we are pleased it is done. We will remain here until Sunday since Matthew is still somewhat "radioactive" and can't be real close to people for an extended period of time. We will know the result of the treatment when we return in January and Matthew has new scans. The return date is Jan. 9 to have time for pre-op testing for surgery which is scheduled for January 14th.

God bless each of you and thank you for your love and prayers for Matthew and our family. Merry Christmas!

Love,

Nancy

SIRsphere treatment

Matthew and I will return to Houston this Wednesday (Dec. 16). Matthew will have a SIRsphere treatment on Thursday at MD Anderson 11:00 CST. This treatment is targeted radiation to the tumors in his liver. We will come home on the 20th to share Christmas with our family in Clinton.

We will return to MD Anderson in January for additional tests and surgery to remove all the cancer located outside the liver (in the abdomen area). There will likely be followup liver and chemo treatment. We will stay approximately 5 to 6 weeks at that time.

We are praising God for our Christmas miracles! May each of you have a blessed Christmas!!
