    Is this the same as therasphers? Yttrium?
    or is it a different type of radiation directed therapy?


    The reason I ask is that Theraspheres was recommended to me as a treatment to try b/w chemo. I was not comforted by the radiologist that it was something I should do and then got 2 COMPLETELY different opinions on it as an option for me - further contributing to my confusiom.



    Good Luck!!!! ((HUGS))

    Peggy it is the same thing
    Peggy it is the same thing as Theraspheres, I talked with many people that have had this procedure and basically saved their lives. Have you heard of Suzanne Lindley, she comes on here from time to time but she speaks at the liver symposiums every year and travels around to speak on her amazing story. She was told to go home and basically plan her funeral, she then had the Sir spheres treatment and it saved her life, this has been 5 years ago. She is an 11 year stage IV cancer survivor. I am glad you are able to have a resection, I was told that I am not resectable and that my liver tumors are like a chocolate chip cookie. So, my options were limited. Good luck and God Bless, I will say a prayer for you tonight that everything goes well. Try and stay calm and focused, you have alot on your plate right now. Patti
