Well a little about my self I got my gallbladder removed in 2018 and mind you it broke open and I was in the hospital for 5 days almost at deaths door but I can out of it and when the Dr came in told me that I had a fatty liver I didn't ask much more and she didn't tell me anything more it's just a fatty liver so I go on with my life then in 2023 I start getting bad back pain hurt to lay on my right side plus I was having bad stomach pains so I go to the ER and they did a MRI and found a tumor on liver so that was in November of 2023 and the sent me to do a biopsy and it was cancer told me I need a liver transplant so I was getting my body ready for a transplant then they did a brian and bone scan to see if it spreading but it was ok the Dr said then I started getting ready to go to Minnesota to get on the transplant list and all turned around and went to good to worse so I can't get the transplant be cause the tumer grew over the limit of the transplant 😭 but now I have a second opinion to do the Y90 treatment so I'm heading up to Minnesota in September kinda scared I'll have it all done in a week hopefully the tumor gets smaller to the point I can get a liver transplant so yes that my story of my cancer I have my kids by my side im greatfull for that sending prayers to all with cancer

Hello @donnabl I am so glad you are going to get that tumor treated. I was treated with ablation but considered for Y90 before that was decided. There is lots of info on Y90. Here are some links from Mayo. https://www.mayoclinichealthsystem.org/hometown-health/speaking-of-health/targeted-radiation-therapy

Wishing you the best results and assuring you that you are getting top notch quality care at Mayo.

@donnabl, I have located some more information aboyt the Y90 treatment for you as you await your appointment and Y90 treatment that is scheduled for September.

I hope that you found some helpful details about the treatment and how it will be administered.

@donnabl just checking in to see how you are doing. I know your Y90 treatment is coming up in September. I do hope you are over your bout of Covid and feeling a little better. Sending you good thoughts and best results possible on your Y90 treatment.
