Y-90 liver cancer treatment: What's your experience?
I recently was treated with y-90 on a tumor in my liver. I am interested in knowing of others that have had experiences good, or bad, and of long term results. I have had prior resection of the liver to remove a tumor but a new tumor surfaced in a different section. I am hoping the y-90 will prove to be a more permanent solution. Thanks

A 13.0 x 6.5 cm lesion was found on my 85 year old husband's liver on Feb 16 of this year. A biopsy on Mar. 3 showed that it is early HCC cancer with no chirrosis. The mass did not exist 14 months prior and other than the stress he feel great and continues to take walks and use the rowing machine three times a week. The reason he went to the doctor was because in November his taste started to change and he lost 25 lbs in two months. His taste reverted back to normal about 12 days ago and he's gained back about 10lbs.
The options presented so far are removal of half of his liver or Y-90. He is leaning towards Y-90 as he would prefer to not go under the knife at his age.
I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has used Y-90 as their primary treatment. Dave's choice is quality of life over quanity and I fully support whatever he chooses. He wants to make as informed a decision as possible and tomorrow he will be getting his second opinion at the University of Washington Liver Tumor Center.
Thanks in advance for any info and support. Judi
There is lots of natural resources medicine but not sure what kind of cancer you have my is liver so I focus on my liver detox helping with natural herbs I have accepted my cancer I know God has plans for me but I am going to fight it it is my body my life not cancer’s to take it away without a fight we need to stay strong positive life is wonderful to live whether we have 5 years or 5 weeks yes I cry my eyes out but it is part of the process let’s keep fighting and let’s tell our journey of this phase our lives with cancer ❤️🙏🏻❤️
Thank you very much. I seem to be getting my energy back slowly, after 7 weeks post Y90. What natural medicine have you found helpful? I would like to research natural medicine.
Sending prayers to you as well.
I think it depends on the person I just keep working so by the end of the week I rest a full day I also got the TACE which is quemo same way as the Y90 direct to the tumor keep positive strong yes I break but we need to get up and fight this cancer life is wonderful also I do natural medicine sending prayers for you ❤️🙏🏻❤️
Good for you. How long did it take for the fatiguedness to wear off after the Y90 treatment?
Hi Diane. Such great news. I just had my 3rd Y90 for 6 tumors. Mine are all gone or dying and we needed to go in this last week for the last one.
Like you I hope nothing comes back and I agree it’s a blessing.
Are you in chemo btw?

1 ReactionI think I have had a total of five tumors, all treated with 3 treatments of y90. They are all either dead or dying and thank God my last scan does not show any new ones. I just pray no new ones pop up. I think y90 is a blessing. Diane
