Y90 is a targeted approach using nuclear radiation to a very precise area. It was used on an area of my liver with tumors close together. It stabilized them and scans saw necrosis in that area. That allowed me to have the pancreadectomy. It isn’t curative, so next they will remove those before they go rogue! As I understand it, the Y90 essentially ties off the blood flow through the area with nuclear particles. That’s my limit of understanding! Dig those toes in the sand! I plan to head to Southern California next week to do the same before surgery on the 20th😊. Don’t miss a moment of the beauty all around you!!

Thanks so much for the helpful information. Enjoy Southern California. I had surgery May 2021. If there is anything I can share that would help, let me know. But I will be away from my computer for the next two days.

Dear Gamary, Thanks again for the information. Can you tell me where you received the Y90. I am interested in knowing for possible future treatment. Also, what was the difficulty of receiving the treatment and was it one treatment or several treatments? Were there any bad side effects? Did it cause fatigue? I look forward to your reply. Beth
