Hello, how did your Y90 go? Have you had a follow up scan yet? Hopefully it revealed destroyed tumors. I have breast cancer tumors that presented in my liver. I had Y90 left lobe on 3/10 with right lobe scheduled for 4/16. Please respond with an update. Thanks

Hi! I had a great experience with Y90. The mapping was a piece of cake, worked the next day and the shoot went great. No pain at all with the shoot, a little tired the next day but was back at work the following day.

I guess the most important question is did it work? Great response. I had two cancerous carcinomas on my liver. Months one and two they shrank then my radiologist reported after month three ct that the big one was dead and the image of the little one was kind of cloudy but he thought all that was left was the bed it was laying in and at least for now i had no viable disease. Will continue to scan every three months for now, next one April 26th. Will fill you in.

My tumor markers went from 60 something down to 8.1. I'm not really sure what the tumor marker numbers mean and have read they are not always to heavily relied of for the diagnosis or cure of cancer. Maybe someone would chime in on that. I would so highly recommend the Y90 to anyone. I heard someone else call it "The Mighty Y90." Diane
