Experiences with

Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE)

Hello all my husband has just had the TACE procedure on the 2nd tumour, the 1st seems to be holding its own and no cancer ‘lighting up on Scans’. We have been told this is now palliative care husband also has Alzheimer’s, is there anyone out there who is in the same boat?

Hello all, an update my husband has cirrhosis NAL and 2 tumours were found. He had the above procedure a few weeks ago and good news yesterday the procedure has been successful, no cancer lighting up. Now it’s regular CT/MRI. To all of you awaiting this procedure I truly hope you have this outcome

Help please, my husband had a TACE procedure a few weeks ago not had the outcome of this yet. But, we have received this in a letter today ‘Background liver cirrhosis NALD, S6 4.5 cm hyper vascular lesion HCC 11 mm area with washout in left lobe suspicious for HCC, portal hypertension”.

Hello all, well we have my husbands TACE procedure date of 24th April. We are there the day before for pre procedure checks. So it’s roll on 24th let’s attempt to slow or get rid of these 2 tumours.

Experts are looking at "combinations" such as immuno- or targeted therapies with procedures like Y90, SIRT, TACE, etc. I feel the doctors are thinking more creatively and understanding that HCC differs for every patient. Unfortunately, I'm so busy that I forgot to take photos.

Has anyone ever gone through any type of ACE withdrawal? If so, what were the symptoms and their duration?

Good morning. I am getting pretty debilitating muscle pain in my core - around my groin and up above. I think maybe these are my rectus abdominis muscles. It’s strange because it has happened before and I don’t’ recall doing anything to cause it. It’s very painful, has lasted days and doesn’t seem to

Hello, My husband (age 46) had a heart attack in December and had a stent fitted in his LAD artery. The surgery went well, all other arteries were clear, he attended the rehab programme and was coping well and was discharged.

After a seemingly endless rainy season (never really cold and never really warm) summer seemed to arrive in mid-summer's day. This morning my flat is already 28C with no heating of any kind and no sunny windows. In hot weather your blood vessels dilate and particularly if you are on beta blockers, ACE

76 years old, no heart problems as far as I knew, just had one of my better games of golf for a couple of years and started to get an ache in my chest in the evening. So phoned the Healthline (I live in NZ) and they had a 30 minute wait, so tried the ambulance service, who operate a triage service.
