Radioembolization vs Y90: Are they the same? Results?

The Y90 is very good at targeted radiation. The mapping shows the Dr what vessel to put it in and that vessel feeds the tumor only with minor surrounding tissue damage. I guess you have to weigh your options if you have any. Whole body chemo should be the last choice.

If your dog is well behaved and doesn't drag you around you should be able to take him out to do his business but everyone is different. Good luck, keep in touch.

They want to run more tests. MRI, PET scan and another blood work.

Did you have a MRI and got long was it? I hate MRI s

I would like to ask for detailed information about Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) or Transarterial Radioembolization (TARE), also known as Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT), for my uncle, who was recently diagnosed with liver cancer. Does this procedure have any side effects on the surrounding liver area when it is performed?

y90 treatment in November 2023 for a 3.6cm single tumor that was inoperable. I have had follow up MRIs every three months with another due next month (May 2025). So far every one has shown a hole where the tumor was and the hole has gotten progressively smaller. Bloodwork remains totally normal. I am currently on the transplant list with exception points. It has been 18 months since I was diagnosed. The y90 treatment went well with limited side effects other than the medication taken for 2 weeks after the procedure. Had the "referred" shoulder pain for about a month. Finally went to a masseuse and it started to dissipate. Good luck to all.

I have a 10cm mass. I was told after the seeds were implanted that I still need a liver resection or the mass will collapse. They did NOT tell me this prior to the seed implementation. They said that the seeds will prevent it from bleeding out or getting bigger. It was an entire month to recover. The instant the 1M seeds were implanted I felt instant back pain as I was partially sedated. The second day I felt like I was having a heart attack. I had wrap around chest and back pain. The nurse came into my room and he stated, "Your not in here for that!" And he leaves the room. I honestly thought I was having a heart attack! I called the main number of the hospital and give them my room number not knowing if I was dying. They said call your nurse. I said, "I tried!"....he walked away not even checking my vitals. The switchboard transferred me back up to the floor and they sent me a different nurse. Next time that happens I'm calling 911!

That's horrible but not unexpected. In Jan 2025 I had a biopsy. As I was recovering I was suffering from severe stomach aches where I couldn't even breathe or move. I told this to the nurse, asked about the pain and location and called the Dr. A few seconds later she came back and said "it's not surgery related. If it continues to 911". I told her I'm already in the hospital. She repeated "it not surgically related so there's nothing they can do".. What a load of BS

FYI: It's now May and 3 weeks ago and again last week I'm getting bills from people who "say" they participated in the biopsy (lab or at the hospital). Seriously 5 months later and who are you

I also had a biopsy in January but it was begin.
However the 10 cm mass can collapse . The GI dr said I need to resect my liver and the seeds will reduce the tumor and collapse. The surgeon said I can't resect my liver because the hepatic veins are too close to the mass.
So now that I've looked it up....it means acute liver failure and death.
I'm a single mother of five with my ex and neighbors who are kicking us out into the street. I've been fighting them for 5 years while they put me through hell. Having panic attacks, stress, while my ex drills wood screws into my tires multiple times. While my son's jeep has the oil drained and lug nuts loosened until he was on the highway. I left him in 2007 and he started this sale and lawsuit in 2020 at the start of Covid-19!
