Anyone experience pain with Y90 treatment?

Hello; New to this group, and new to this unwelcome journey.

My husband was diagnosed with cancer of the liver on Christmas Eve, 2025 and had Y-90 treatment at UNC Chapel Hill, NC, this past Tuesday. We were dreading the possible side effects but so far, he hasn’t experienced any. They sent him home with pain medication, nausea medication and a course of steroids, and I’m so pleased that his appetite is still intact and he is on his feet multiple times throughout the day. I think the steroids have helped him a lot, because he has been awake more than weak and sleeping (which wasn’t the case leading up to the treatment). In searching online information, we were very anxious about the unknown of this treatment, and very anxious about its outcome. I understand he may face these side effects, if additional treatments are needed. Thank you, for allowing me to participate in the group, and best wishes for everyone on this journey!

@ronnielynnhill, welcome! It's been a few days since your husband's treatment. How is he doing 2 weeks out? When did the course of steroids end? How are YOU doing?
