Hello,
My husband was diagnosed in April of 2023. We thought it was stage II at first but when they went in to do the distal surgery they found studding in the liver. They aborted surgery and he is fighting the disease with Chemotherapy. He was able to complete 18 cycles of FLOFIRINOX, 8 cycles of FLOFIRI, and has now transitioned to Gem/Abrax- first cycle today. His main tumor has remained stable this whole time, but he continues to get new liver spots. He is having a consultation for the Y90 procedure tomorrow.

I am always seeking out new information to help us prepare for all the ups and downs that have come with this diagnosis. I never have a dumb question anymore, not when it is about my husband's health and healing. This is such a scary disease, but we find there are so many positive stories around survival too, we seek those experiences out and it helps us keep our spirits and fighting drive strong.

@gretchenb, I love your phrase "I never have a dumb question anymore, not when it is about my husband's health and healing." You're so right. There really are no dumb questions. Welcome.

There are several discussions about Y90. Here are a few links that you might find helpful:

How did the consultation for Y90 go?
