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

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

Welcome, @phillydawg, I'm tagging fellow members like @gailvar @pfitz904 @alfonso22 @judi729 and @digibson who have experience with radioembolization (Y90) treatment.

Phillydawg, do you have any questions about your upcoming first treatment? Are you already on a transplant waiting list?

Y90 has proven to be a very effective treatment for me against a primary tumor in my liver. I am experiencing necrosis (and shrinkage) of the tumor since having the treatment in November 2023. I recommend it highly if possible.
