Radio frequency ablation in liver Mets

I had Y90 to liver mets which is the insertion of radioactive beads directly to the tumor area.
Is this the planned procedure?
In my case most of the tumor bed became necrotic and allowed me to move on to pancreas surgery.

The recovery was very easy. A few days to get over sedation. Home same day.

Thank you for the info.
What benefit did you get from this procedure? Did you continue taking chemo after that?

I have a question.
If u had liver nets, that means you were stage 4. And u were still allowed surgery. Is that because no arteries were involved? For me, Chemo and high dose radiation has stopped/shrunk the primary pancreas tumor and no new growth has been seen in several months. I have one very small met on my liver. I am stage 4 but with artery involvement so unfortunately no surgery for me. I will have Y 90 this month because the liver tumor is near my stomach and it sounds like no one wants it to possibly spreading that direction. My hope is this will allow me a break from chemo. Is that realistic? Has anyone had long term success with this procedure?
