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

Hi Diane. Such great news. I just had my 3rd Y90 for 6 tumors. Mine are all gone or dying and we needed to go in this last week for the last one.
Like you I hope nothing comes back and I agree it’s a blessing.
Are you in chemo btw?

Good for you. How long did it take for the fatiguedness to wear off after the Y90 treatment?

I think it depends on the person I just keep working so by the end of the week I rest a full day I also got the TACE which is quemo same way as the Y90 direct to the tumor keep positive strong yes I break but we need to get up and fight this cancer life is wonderful also I do natural medicine sending prayers for you ❤️🙏🏻❤️

Thank you very much. I seem to be getting my energy back slowly, after 7 weeks post Y90. What natural medicine have you found helpful? I would like to research natural medicine.
Sending prayers to you as well.

A 13.0 x 6.5 cm lesion was found on my 85 year old husband's liver on Feb 16 of this year. A biopsy on Mar. 3 showed that it is early HCC cancer with no chirrosis. The mass did not exist 14 months prior and other than the stress he feel great and continues to take walks and use the rowing machine three times a week. The reason he went to the doctor was because in November his taste started to change and he lost 25 lbs in two months. His taste reverted back to normal about 12 days ago and he's gained back about 10lbs.
The options presented so far are removal of half of his liver or Y-90. He is leaning towards Y-90 as he would prefer to not go under the knife at his age.
I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has used Y-90 as their primary treatment. Dave's choice is quality of life over quanity and I fully support whatever he chooses. He wants to make as informed a decision as possible and tomorrow he will be getting his second opinion at the University of Washington Liver Tumor Center.
Thanks in advance for any info and support. Judi

You might want to look at taking 955 standardized curcumin wit black pepper extract to both help recovery and possibly inhibit reccurrance, I would reccomend 1000 mg doses posssibly more than once a day.

Also "timed release" vitamin C is helpful for building the immune system.

correction should say 95% not 955

Hi Colleen...I was glad to hear that someone who has had y99 treatment had limited side effects. I will receive my y99 treatment next week for a 3.5cm unresectable HCC due to location and while I have evidence of Cirrhosis, all blood work is normal including AFP. No symptoms. Hoping that the y99 can shrink the tumor and future resection or transplantation will be possible. I am a otherwise very healthy 70 year old. Interested in hearing from others that have had y99 treatment and their progress toward a resolution or transplantation. Thanks
