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

I also was treated with y-90 for liver cancer. I'm also interested in hearing from others about their experience with this treatment.

I don’t get the emails when someone posts to this sight anymore either. Yannis

Hi Colleen, these postings about Y90 have quit showing up in my email. They used to come in everyday. All the things I was following have quit showing up. What am I doing wrong?

My husband had both liver lobes treated with Y90 and currently on Lonsurf.
End of month we are having an mri to see what has transpired in the liver. I scheduled an appointment with the colorectal surgeon who removed his right decal mass and then directed us to chemotherapy. He also had a celiac plexus block. Then also I scheduled an appointment with a gastroenterologist to determine why he has lost weight and muscle mass due to a fecal fat abnormal test. Finally I also scheduled a meeting with a top liver surgeon to address everything. Nurse oncologist in latest tele visit said why am I scheduling these appointments.
Because they are not following through in some of their analysis and I want answers.
The departments are focused on their treatments I want answers.
Our IR doctor who did the Y90 is the finest, most caring compassionate and thorough doctor we have encountered and his triage nurses and team are the finest. This speaks highly of the IR doctor who is head of the dept. We adore him! And we feel safe with him. Also the doctor who did the arteriography of the liver is the finest doctor.
Good luck and let me know how you fare with the Y90…
This is a good forum to exchange thoughts.

That's a hilarious vision. I sometime feel like my trainer at the gym does that to me. He's always yelling at me to eat more. :>)

Diane thanks I do try to get him to drink ensure plus but some resistance to it. He has started to eat and appetite increase.
Yesterday I made green beans with potatoes and olive oil an he loved it. Sometimes when I ask what he wants to eat he tells me I will ask for it. Independent Greek spirit lol
Sometime I feel like a Greek grandmother running around the yard with grandchildren and a spoon and bowl saying eat eat lol humorous vision on my part
Thanks

Well, we will have an informative Nov/Dec. Don't forget to get him to drink at least two bottles of Ensure Plus per day. Weight is all about caloric intake and two bottles a day is 700 calories a day. They make great flavors but be sure to the the Ensure Plus not just the regular Ensure.

Diane have posted don’t know if I am posting correctly.
We had an oncology nurse practiser meeting via zoom today it was a bit better as she had an observer (S) and she did Address some issues.
Labs coming up nov 26, mri scan dec 1
I scheduled an appointment with liver surgeon on dec 2 and nurse practitioner said why do you want to see him. He is a surgeon. Am a bit confused as I want all choir to let me know what they sing.
Gastroenterologist on nov 23 to understand fecal fat qualitative abnormal.
Husband is eating a bit more and enjoying the food but getting him his weight back on and muscle mass is my goal.
