Hello @amygirl,

Here is a link with some information about Y90 treatments for tumors in the liver.
--Y90 radioembolization

You said that you were told that there were no chemo treatments for your situation. Within the past couple of years a chemo, referred to as PRRT has been developed for NETs.

Are you seeing a NET specialist? If so, you might want to discuss with your oncologist other treatments that might be available to you.
