Y-90 liver cancer treatment: What's your experience?
Liver Cancer | Last Active: 6 days ago | Replies (233)Comment receiving replies
I had Y90 in November 24. The results were very good. I had some complications that were pretty tough for almost three months but my situation was unusual according to my Drs.
Has anyone had any issues with EXTREMELY dry, scaling itchy skin after the procedure? I could scratch myself until I bleed it is so bad. I use lots of high moisturizing lotion but that only helps for a short time. Some of the areas are actually painful. Any suggestions?

My husband got relief with light therapy, prescribed by a dermatologist after topical creams and lotions didn't take care of it. It's non-invasive, highly controlled exposure to, I think, UV-A and B rays. He had it twice a week, and after a few months the itching was gone. (I had the same treatment for a skin condition not related to cancer. It worked, after nothing had for 4-5 years). It's worth asking about.
