Prepping for the worst...

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.

I'm glad you are feeling good. I hope the next treatment also works out.

Yesterday, my Doctor said that from my January ultrasound to my March MRI that my spot only grew 1 mm to 15mm (1.5cm) total. They still don't know what I'm dealing with and my next MRI in June may provide clarity. I know it's a good thing to catch stuff early but the wait is the worst for me.

Thank you @dave1952 for the info.
