Y-90 liver cancer treatment: What's your experience?

Can you share more about olive oil? I am going through the same procedure on the same dates. I'm Italian and also use tons of of olive oil.
Thanks Dorina

My spuse had is second Y90 right lobe therapy previous was left lobe there were a series of issues oncology never addressed such as hpylori and now fecal fat qualitative abnormal we have gastroenterologist appointment and next week we meet with the surgeons who removed right cecal mass
Oh and he also had celiac plexus block iR DEPT AR
HOPKINS IS PHENOMENAL AND THE BEST WHO DID Y90
as for olive oil I believe I mentioned the college that did a study and findings are it may help. I personally do two shots every morning as my late mom used to do it high quality Greek olive oil that peppers in Back of the throat is what I use direct from the farm in Greece
Read it I believe it was hunter college or one of those research institutions my head swims with everything we have gone through
One thing I have found is you must be on top of oncology as they are overloaded with cases and sometimes I have found they do not read notes accordingly especially when nurse practioner get involved
Next week gastro surgeons will meet with us talk to their top liver doctor and the rest of the team to see and analyse everything
This is a rough journey for patient and caregiver but as our triage at IR said no one can take HOPE away And we haveY90 working to see after scan in December
Prayers everyday for all patients doctors Nd caregivers
Let me know what you find and where are you having Y90
Let’s keep in touch

Hi Yannis. Just checking in to see how things are going for you as you've not posted for awhile. Have you gotten more information or lab results? Diane

Diane have posted don’t know if I am posting correctly.
We had an oncology nurse practiser meeting via zoom today it was a bit better as she had an observer (S) and she did Address some issues.
Labs coming up nov 26, mri scan dec 1
I scheduled an appointment with liver surgeon on dec 2 and nurse practitioner said why do you want to see him. He is a surgeon. Am a bit confused as I want all choir to let me know what they sing.
Gastroenterologist on nov 23 to understand fecal fat qualitative abnormal.
Husband is eating a bit more and enjoying the food but getting him his weight back on and muscle mass is my goal.
Y90 we will see after MRI what it shows..that is why I want liver surgeon to meet with us. Husband is wary as he is tired with all the appointments.
Need to work on these items.
Keep in touch

Well, we will have an informative Nov/Dec. Don't forget to get him to drink at least two bottles of Ensure Plus per day. Weight is all about caloric intake and two bottles a day is 700 calories a day. They make great flavors but be sure to the the Ensure Plus not just the regular Ensure.

Diane thanks I do try to get him to drink ensure plus but some resistance to it. He has started to eat and appetite increase.
Yesterday I made green beans with potatoes and olive oil an he loved it. Sometimes when I ask what he wants to eat he tells me I will ask for it. Independent Greek spirit lol
Sometime I feel like a Greek grandmother running around the yard with grandchildren and a spoon and bowl saying eat eat lol humorous vision on my part
Thanks

That's a hilarious vision. I sometime feel like my trainer at the gym does that to me. He's always yelling at me to eat more. :>)

My husband had both liver lobes treated with Y90 and currently on Lonsurf.
End of month we are having an mri to see what has transpired in the liver. I scheduled an appointment with the colorectal surgeon who removed his right decal mass and then directed us to chemotherapy. He also had a celiac plexus block. Then also I scheduled an appointment with a gastroenterologist to determine why he has lost weight and muscle mass due to a fecal fat abnormal test. Finally I also scheduled a meeting with a top liver surgeon to address everything. Nurse oncologist in latest tele visit said why am I scheduling these appointments.
Because they are not following through in some of their analysis and I want answers.
The departments are focused on their treatments I want answers.
Our IR doctor who did the Y90 is the finest, most caring compassionate and thorough doctor we have encountered and his triage nurses and team are the finest. This speaks highly of the IR doctor who is head of the dept. We adore him! And we feel safe with him. Also the doctor who did the arteriography of the liver is the finest doctor.
Good luck and let me know how you fare with the Y90…
This is a good forum to exchange thoughts.

Hi Colleen, these postings about Y90 have quit showing up in my email. They used to come in everyday. All the things I was following have quit showing up. What am I doing wrong?
