Hi,

Came back from the hospital with a 2nd opinion from another oncologist.  Mom has stage 4 colon cancer met liver.  Been on a few chemo combinations for 2 years.  Now this new oncologist says that mom is a good candidate for SIRT Y90 for her liver tumors.  Anyone got experience with SIRT Y90?  Any bad side effects?  I did some research and it seems it has high success rate.

    My Mom had liver cancer. Y90

    My Mom had liver cancer. Y90 is a good candidate for some people. It is injected into teh liver and kills the tumour via radiation. Doctors have to evalaue if any of the med can go to lungs and then decide if it is a good candidate.
