Journal entry by Gayle Shirey —
I had my second Y90 treatment yesterday. It was blessedly uneventful except for the three nurses attempting to access my port prior to surgery. For some reason they missed and stabbed me approximately eight or nine times before finally accessing it correctly. Not fun.
Tom was with me and as always was a great comfort and help.
If you are interested, here is an easy to understand article explaining the Y90 procedure.

I have also begun chemotherapy treatment with Lenvimo daily pills and Keytruda immunotherapy injections every three weeks. So far, so good. I do feel that it is all alot at once but there isn't much more we can do as my cancer is unusual.
I know I was and still am covered in prayer and I thank you all for this constant blessing. God is good!
