Y-90 liver cancer treatment: What's your experience?

Leo, thank you so much for your reply! I hadn't even considered if his fatigue and loss of appetite may be depression related. He is not very good about sharing his feelings with me so I just thought it was the cancer/treatments.
I'm not sure what the Y90 TARE is... it was presented to us as Y90. He has an appt next week with the doctor that will do the procedure so I will ask if this is the same procedure or something different. Did you have much pain afterwards?
And finally, thank you for adding my husband to your prayer list! You will be in my prayers as well. Thank you.

Thank you for including me on your prayer list! TARE is trans-arterial radioembolization. They move the Y90 radiation through an artery in the leg to the location of the tumor....in my case, the liver. Minimal pain and discomfort with only local anesthesia ( at least in my case). I was awake throughout the procedure. Take care!
