I had Y-90 radioembolization to the liver for breast cancer a month ago tomorrow. I have experienced extreme pain, have had every scan known, and spent a week in the hospital with no answers. Finally yesterday I went to a new GI doctor. She suggested an endoscopy finally after the hospital said it was not necessary, but of course we have to wait 2 weeks. She thinks perhaps ulcers from the procedure.
I have gone in one month from living a fully active life to living with debilitating pain and taking painkillers every day to manage that sometimes work. I don't know if I can manage teaching this semester (I teach college, and we start next week).
I have lost almost 20 pounds because I have no appetite. It's like one day I had a life even with stage 4 breast cancer, and now I don't.
My new GI doc worked in Boston with liver transplant patients and says she has seen similar reactions. My liver mets are significantly elevated.
I apologize for the lengthy post.
