Hi Diane. Thanks so much for sharing your story and the good wishes. I had 2 Y90 procedures and like you both times were also 5 weeks of struggle. Today is actually my 5th week from the last procedure and I’m not perfect but much better. Mostly fever, fatigue, cough, loss of appetite.
I’m so inspired that your treatment was so successful.!! I will find out on June 15th in my case and report back here.
I had at least 5 liver lesions. I had 2 others that had been cryoablated prior to Y90.
I’m actually not in a hospital for this. Dr Curtis Anderson in the Miami Florida area is my radiologist and he’s the only one in Florida qualified to do it outside of a major hospital. He was recommended by my integrative dr/oncologist. I live in Florida.
Where did you have it done?

Hi I got 1 so far this June 24 will have my 2nd MRI to see how the tumor is reacting. in my case all still good with the Y90 no pain no side affects or any major problems Thanks God I hope we all find a cure for this liver cancer. I just got an e mail from the hospital that there is a new way to do radiation called Proton therapy I am in wisconsin not sure what other treatment will be after my MRI but would give a try to anything that is @ my u w Carbon cancer center. lets stay positive, and have faith so we can stay longer with our family.
