Y90: How did you manage the fatigue?

Posted by amybevkep @amybevkep, Oct 4 6:48am

I had my first of 2 Y90 procedures 10 days ago. Have weak stomach and it has really added to that issue. Am having an endoscopy soon to see what’s the problem. They did bloodwork for pancreatitis with results comeback Monday. Very tired. Anyone going through same?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs) Support Group.

I had both sides of liver done first side went fine definitely was very tired both times had complication send time I got radiation ulcer second time a bead got loose. Can you eat does it hurt? Hopefully you just have a sensitive stomach they should know if anything went wrong. Let me know I can go into more details

Get results back today if I may have pancreatitis. I’m supposed to have an endoscopy on stomach once scheduled. My GP thinks it may be inflamed stomach lining or previous ulcer. Just getting the pancreatitis idea covered. Not eating much, lost 5lbs in last weak.. dehydrated.. but my friend, have a good attitude! Just a belly ache!

@amybevkep, while I'm sure you're not glad to have pancreatitis along with NETs. But I bet it is good to know the cause of your discomfort. Here is some information from Mayo Clinic about the management of pancreatitis:

- Pancreatitis https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/pancreatitis/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20360233

It is important to get yourself rehydrated. Are you able to drink? Did you get any IV fluids to help get you hydrated?

Have not been diagnosed with pancreatitis. Have upcoming endoscopy. Could be Y90 beads got out of liver, ulcer, stomach lining issues as I have acid reflux
