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

I just looked back and my Interventional Radiologist ordered hepatic function panel, CBC, INR, and basic metabolic panel. Good luck on the Y90 shoot. My tumors (had 2 shot) are dying after the second shoot.

Let us know how it goes.

My husband had Y90 in September and what followed was pain in abdomen, weight loss, no appetite, so we went in for a celiac plexus block. He was off chemo since June 26, and the oncologist and nurse oractioner did not address his stomach pain which started in July, take Pepcid, gasX etc. Finally family doctor said stool sample diagnosis hpylori. Antibiotics and admitted for 5 days…that issue resolved. Now on Tuesday Y90 on right lobe. Oncologist put him on Lonsurf for five days on off two, five on off till October 29. Anyone had experience with lonsurf and Y90. Somehow I do not like the idea of nurse practioners dealing with patients.
What are your thoughts. Need some good sound advice. I am on top of everything they say and do, and I constantly keep them informed…which they do not appreciate.

My spouse is having his second y90 on Tuesday October 26 and oncologist has not ordered the aft tumor blood work, why? Am curious all we have done is cea, cbc, camp and inr for the procedure. What other labs should be done? Please write

I hope it helps!

My spouse had Y90 in September and late sept beginning October he had severe abdominal pains doubled over .so they did a celiac plexus block as they said that this will help. It did stop pain. Altho he had started loosing weight earlier almost 10 kilos which he cannot afford to loose. Accompanied by nausea and diarrhoea so family doctor ordererd stool sample to check. One test came back negative waiting in other test. Tuesday we go for right lobe Y90 and now on Lonsurf

Afinitor (Everolimus) is a chemo pill or at least a pill you take daily to treat cancer of the kidney, pancreas, breast, and brain. It can also be used along with other medications to prevent rejection of a transplanted kidney or liver. For NETs, it is used to control the growth of liver mets.

What is afinitor are these chemo pills or is it an infusion. How successful have the treatment been in reducing cancer to liver ? We were on 5FU with bev and later several of oxipkatin but did nit like neuropathy and one yr later on xeloda followed by 5FU with bev later. Now Y90

Good to have someone as a sounding board about everything. Besides doing everything that is needed caregivers needs a lot of help in this journey. We can do it I know. And we can overcome much together prayer and good doctors make the difference
