I had Y90 in Nov, 24 on two tumors 6cm in size. A three month MRI showed 98-99% of the treated area was killed.. My Dr was very pleased. Recovery for me was quit difficult with pain, fevers and crippling fatigue for 2 plus months but the results were worth it. Sorry it didn't work for you Stevie 17th. I have to do it again for another very small tumor in a few weeks.

Dave that's great news. 2 months ago the size of my tumor was 8.2 x 7.7 x 6.7cm. Jan 16,2025 I had a biopsy and I'm still waiting for the results. During the biopsy I asked a few people about the Y90 and both nurses (1 there's 2 years and the other was there for 8 years) said they haven't seen that procedure done at that hospital.

I wonder if a tumor is a particular size will they not do the procedure.
