      Still waiting on my daughter to get scans after liver embolization and four rounds of YERVOY. Anybody have embolization and if so, how much did your tumor shrink if all?

          Hi!  I've not had a tumor in my liver emboized, but I did have one embolized on my L2 vertebrae back in October of 2013 two days before I had surgery. The tumor could not completely be removed.  As of my last CT scan (12-23-14), there has been no more growth…it's stable.  I'm now looking forward to my 11th infusion of Keytruda which has so far been successful in resolving and shrinking tumors.  

          My best to you!
