      After liver met was larger, they scheduled me for liver ablation today and chemoembolization tomorrow. Then I meet with clinical trial Dr (Zinner) next Wednesday. This is all at MD Anderson in TX.

      I’m sure I’ll be back on asking for advice after my appointment next Wednesday.

              Hi, Becky-

              I have heard of ablation and chemo embolization but I don't know anyone who has tried it. I think they have had success with it in Europe and do it often there. I'm glad that you came through the procedure OK and I will pray that you feel better soon and that your liver mets disappear. 

              Hang in there. Keep fighting! And do keep us posted about your ERK clinical trial. You certainly are blazing new trails for your fellow melanoma warriors!
