Thanks for the feedback. Did you have Y90 treatment? My only concern is that if I wait I will be too old for transplant. How old are you?

I had the same concern. I am 71. I was told there is no age limit for transplant, it depends on your state of health. Basically, I think they look at if your body can survive the surgery and how many years you will get out of it. That said, I ponder the ethical question about accepting an organ when I know there is a shortage and some younger people may get more years than me.
I had ablation instead of Y90. My tumor was not in a precarious place so ablation was a better fit for me.
Wishing you the best life possible and peace of mind.
