Quick Update From NIH

Things are going very well here and the chemoembolization procedure, to "zap the mets" in my right lobe, went off without a hitch. Dr. Levy performed the procedure (he's an Interventional Radiologist) and he and his team do great work. Not to mention that he has a very effective bedside manner and keeps you involved in every aspect of what's going on. I was awake, but sedated, so being the knowledge junkie that I am, and making sure that I am aware of every aspect of my care, I greatly appreciated that.

Dr. Avital has an amazing team here at the NIH and I am very impressed with the whole operation (sorry... couldn't resist that!). We are going to get more agressive with future treatments than originally planned and I will update those details this weekend. Still on schedule to return home tomorrow.

Ciao for now!

Glad things went well, BK!

"Interventional Radiologist..." I think there's a potential A&E or Bravo series in there somewhere.
