1 Reaction@fred2338, I'm just catching up with your post today. Such great news to hear that transarterial radioembolization (TARE), also called Y-90 radioembolization, was a success for you.
For anyone considering this treatment, what is one thing you wish you had known?

1 Reaction@myhell I believe yes because they both use yttrium-90 beads. Here are two links for previous Y-90 discussions. Please take a look at them, and let me known if they are helpful. Thanks.
