Radioembolization vs Y90: Are they the same? Results?

WOW you know what a German Shorthaired Pointer is 😂. Yes, that's what shorthairptr means. My family had one for the past 50+ years. My dog is not a GSP because I don't have a yard and we all know how those dogs need to run. My mixed is 55lbs and I walk him a few times a day. He's my concern. When I had the biopsy 2 weeks ago I paid a neighbor to take care of him. She will do it again if I asked.

As far as the fatigue thanks for the explanation. Everyone mentions fatigue but doesn't go into details. My last CT Scan has the tumor around 3½". Next week I see a Dr that will discuss the next steps and she also does Y90.

Many years ago I said if I ever got cancer there's certain things I will not do (full body chemo or radiation). Y90 seems like it only attacks the tumor while leaving the rest of the body / healthy cells alone. That sounds like a plan .

Living along my concern is dog and me getting around. I guess for a while I'll order food to be delivered.

Thanks.. helps a lot

The Y90 is very good at targeted radiation. The mapping shows the Dr what vessel to put it in and that vessel feeds the tumor only with minor surrounding tissue damage. I guess you have to weigh your options if you have any. Whole body chemo should be the last choice.

If your dog is well behaved and doesn't drag you around you should be able to take him out to do his business but everyone is different. Good luck, keep in touch.
