Y-90 liver cancer treatment

Posted by mudshark @mudshark, Dec 8, 2019

I recently was treated with y-90 on a tumor in my liver. I am interested in knowing of others that have had experiences good, or bad, and of long term results. I have had prior resection of the liver to remove a tumor but a new tumor surfaced in a different section. I am hoping the y-90 will prove to be a more permanent solution. Thanks

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Cancer Support Group.

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.

I just want to update the group since I just had my first Pet/CT scan after 2 Y90 procedures.
The scan shows significant improvement and of my 7 tumors all are gone or significantly smaller and much less metabolic except for one which also decreased in size and metabolism but is still needing to be addressed.
My radiologist says he didn’t use enough radiation in that tumor and he wants me to come in and do Y90 just on that one.
Btw my tumors were large with the largest being 10 cm and now it’s just background. Totally gone.
So all in all a great result and I’ll update the group when I get the last Y90 and another scan.
I’m grateful for all of you and getting such great information in this group.

Great news Gailvar! 7 Tumors, that's a lot and 10cm is big. Yeah for the Mighty y90 its a miracle treatment sent straight from God. I've had some tumors pop up again so have required three y90 treatments. My hepatologist says its sometime like playing whack a mole.

I'm happy to hear your good news. Diane

@colleenyoung

@digibson, I used Google translate to translate @mrodriguezc's question to you. They ask:
"Hello, this treatment (Y-90) is used for a hepatocarcinoma of the liver. I was operated on in June 2020 and now 3 more hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have appeared. You can help me with your opinions. Thank you"

Digibson, what was your experience with Y-90?

I think I have had a total of five tumors, all treated with 3 treatments of y90. They are all either dead or dying and thank God my last scan does not show any new ones. I just pray no new ones pop up. I think y90 is a blessing. Diane
