@tomrennie my husband saw his doctor today and the type of liver cancer is Hepatocellula.
His CT scan has been moved up 6 November, so we’ll know if the Y90 treatment worked. If not, the next treatment is Ablation.
He had lots of side effects with the Y90 treatment. Constipation, fatigue, loss of appetite and weight.

@vincelinda24 That is the most common type. The side effects can be a challenge. Doing things to minimize them can take some trial and error. Unfortunately, some are unavoidable. You have to find a way to work through them. For me, I had to learn to listen to my body. Rest when I am tired. Sleep really helps. Equally as important is to never stop moving if/when you can even when it hurts sometimes. With the loss of appetite and weight, it will be difficult. I lost over 100lbs. I have been there. But keeping the body moving helped me get a little appetite back. Like @myo4me suggested, following a diet that is easier on the body and liver can be helpful. Have you tried anything like that? Are there any other changes that might be helpful? The easiest way to get through the side effects is great scan results. It can make the anguish worth it. November 6th can't come soon enough. You agree?
