@donnabl, I can imagine that it is kinda scary when you read about the Y-90 procedure and it says "An interventional radiologist inserts a small tube, called a catheter, into an artery in the groin or wrist and threads it to the identified vessels that supply blood to your tumors." (https://www.mayoclinichealthsystem.org/hometown-health/speaking-of-health/targeted-radiation-therapy)

@revjohnson and @alfonso22 both reported that it isn't painful, but I'll let them explain a bit more about the procedure, what to expect and how you can prepare.

Donna, you will be able to go home that same day as the procedure. Do you have someone going with you to the appointment to be your support and take you home?
