Karen's doing well. Just a brief note by way of update: Karen spent the day in Robert Wood Johnson receiving the radiation portion of her SIR Spheres treatment. She is recuperating, very nauseous and utterly exhausted.
Her CEA was measured, it was 189 for those keeping track and will be monitored in the coming months to determine how effective the treatment has been.
She'll spend the week with Chris and Kate to avoid giving the kids a permanent sun tan if you know what I mean. Daddy daycare is fully operational although classes are full and we are not accepting new applicants.

SIR Spheres Embolization
Karen's doing well. She's in the hospital at Robert Wood Johnson getting a scheduled procedure done currently and I'm headed there soon. She asked to update the blog so here goes.
Today is step one in her radiation treatment. There are two steps. Today (now) Doctor Nosher at Robert Wood Johnson is blocking off certain pathways within her liver's blood stream. This will allow the radiation treatment (scheduled for next Tuesday 26th) to flow to the tumor within her liver.
She left early this morning and is expected home this evening. I got the kids off to school, ran a few errands and am headed there now.
UPDATE: karen's done and all went fine, she has to lay flat on her back for the next 6hours or so. Will be home tonight.
