My dad's first gene therapy session will begin in a couple hours (Friday 9am their time, Thursday 6pm PST). It entails shots of the following into the artery which feeds the largest tumor he has:
-4 gene injections (not exactly sure what that means)
-A light chemo dosage of 5FU and cisplatin
He will be awake during the one hour procedure, and will be able to watch the process on the monitor. He then needs to stay in bed for 8 hours for the injection spot at his artery to heal (similar to the healing needed for an angiogram).
