Update on Chuck Williams. BB1's progress with Liver Cancer

Chuck, Anne, Sharrie, Gene 1976
BB1, Chuck Williams will be going to UCLA next Friday, July 8th, to begin the process of preparing him for a new treatment called TheraSphere®.   If all goes well, he will start the TheraSphere therapy on July 31.  Send him Good Vibrations, Prayers and Well Wishes, that he is one of the lucky ones to push Cancer back for a long time.
 TheraSphere is a liver cancer therapy that consists of millions of small glass microspheres (20 to 30 micrometers in diameter) containing radioactive Y-90. The product will be injected into Chuck's liver through a catheter and be delivered directly to the tumor via blood flow.
If the tumor responds, by shrinking after the treatment, he will be repeating it every three months for as long as he lives.  This will cut into his road trips in the Coach to not more than two weeks at a stretch. He still hopes to continue racing in Vegas and has ordered a new yellow Alfa Romeo 4C Spider, that will arrive in October. Chuck at 66, has always landed on his feet.  I pray he's lucky and is blessed with many happy years to come.
