Lost with no confirmation of NETs origin: Innumerable liver lesions

I also had multiple small lesions in my liver and a few larger ones. I decided on SirSpheres Y90 embolization which did a great job on the small ones and reduced the larger ones. I did get radiational pneumonia from it though. They did microwave ablation on the larger ones later when my ileum primary was resected. A minute bowel leak kept me having recuring abdominal abscesses for the next year. From now on I will let one thing heal before having something else done.

Hi An update it appears I can have the Y90 on my large tumor and bland embolization for the rest. Thank you for your response and feedback. Best of luck to you. Will be discussing tomorrow with consult. TY

Thank you for sharing your experience and good advice. With my non functioning the only type of embolization I can have is bland where they block off blood supply to the tumors. Am hopeful too about both the freezing or heating technique not sure if an option for non functional though. Best of luck with your ongoing healing and appreciate your response.
