I apologize for waiting so long to post. The last meeting with the doctor was good. There was no appreciable increase in the tumors and the Dr was very pleased with Judy's condition.
He surprised us with the news that he has been using a procedure previously used only in typical liver cancer, to reduce those types tumors. He has been applying that procedure to neuroendocrine tumors like Judy has, with good results; even in some cases, reducing the tumors. Since Judy's symptoms are sort of sleight at this point, he wants to hold off with the procedure for now. If her symptoms increase to two or three times a week, he will recommend the procedure, which is a catheter through the groin, spraying the liver with a resin-like substance which has some chemotherapy in the mix.
We are happy with the doctor's assessment, and will carry on as usual. Thank you all for your thoughts and your prayers. To God always be the glory.
