I am feeling much better today. The doctor came this morning and said that everything is good. In fact, he said that I am recovering quite fast from TAE, I think the pain I experienced yesterday must have been the side effects of the TAE. I will have to go for a CT scan this coming Wednesday to see if the TAE procedure is working. Seeing my progress, he is encouraged to do radiotherapy implant on the new 4cm+ tumour on my right lung. I am scheduled for a small dose of radiotherapy drug to be injected into the tumour this Friday.. If everything goes smoothly, I shall proceed with the HIFU treatment to be done together on both the kidney and new lung tumour before the end of the year. The doctor is confident in treating this new lung tumour but not the old ones.
I have no issue with targeted chemo/radiotherapy but such procedures are expensive because the drugs are delivered directly to the tumour. The drug for the radiotherapy implant costs RMB40k alone but is safe and effective for use.
