Anyone experience pain with Y90 treatment?

Posted by camper56 @camper56, Apr 15, 2024

My husband had the Y 90 treatment 2 1/2 weeks ago. He had nausea the first week then it went away. Then started the really sharp pain in his liver area. It usually starts in the afternoon and does not go away without taking an oxycontin. He is having a followup CT scan today. Anyone else experienced the pain for more than a few days?

I am having Y90 this coming week. Angiogram on Monday and first y90 on Thursday. My understanding is after a couple weeks will have y90 to the other half of liver. I have melanoma lesions that spread from ocular melanoma. Would love to see any comments relating to this.

My husband had Y90 placed in his liver on 9/11/2024 . He is very sensitive to medications and we actually discovered he is allergic to must chemo meds, so when they said “ most people feel like they have the flu for a couple of days and feel a bit off for about 2 weeks “ I in my head planned for 3-4 weeks of him not feeling well as he’s also a very slow metabolizer of medication . I was so very pleased it was about 4 days of laying low and then he felt good and it just got better from there. It also works! Hope this is helpful and best of luck Cat
