9th (out of 10) day of RT: Second last day of RT... Mama met with Dr Kwong, the Radiologist doctor, today to sum up Adrian's RT effort. Adrian is doing fine so far on RT that he didn't have much side effects as mentioned earlier (i.e. diarrhea, sun burnt on that part of the skin etc.). Because of the fact that liver can't be irradiated, we talked about the MIBG options where Adrian will be given high dosage of radioactive isotope in hopes to kill the remaining liver tumors. However, Dr. Kwong didn't suggest us to do so simply because the MIBG signal last time was very weak... it's probably 1-2% higher than a normal person. She said it's not worthwhile to do so having the whole body irradiated and the effect may not be significant. Had a phone conversation with Dr Chan as well and apparently CT/MRI films will be sent to the liver surgery department and we'll wait to hear from them (p.s. he didn't know I've spoken to Professor already and knew the surgery is viable!).
