I had Y90 in November to treat two 6+cm tumors. The results were excellent after three months. The recovery was long and difficult, 11 weeks, with some unusual complications, but I got through it and I feel really wonderful today. I go back in for another treatment of Y90 for a much smaller tumor in about a month. I don't expect as difficult a recovery due to the much smaller size of the spot.
For those thinking about Y90, all I can say is it worked in my situation. Radiation usually doesn't have the lasting side effect I had but remember, tissue is being destroyed from within and that can take a toll on you. All in all, I'm happy with the procedure.
Thanks for asking. Unfortunately, my MRI was on Friday but had to be rescheduled for 03/01 because it broke. Plus for some reason, there have been a lot of MRI's scheduled recently so at best I'll know my result around the 8th.
