Hello everyone!
A dear friend of mine with ASPS had two tumors that were blocking her tubes in her lungs that were making it hard to breath and they used this treatment and the second week they went in and the first is now gone!! I am beyond happy and told her i was going to share this with everyone!
t first they said they were to lat=rge and then one doctor said nope we are doing it and YAY! it has worked! They sent her home today also after the treatment and she said she is already breating better :)

This is really interesting, thanks Amanda. Looks like a good (and quick!) way to control symptoms in advanced cases, while exploring other treatment options.
