    HI and welcome Michael! Yes,

    HI and welcome Michael! Yes, I have heard of Y-90 treatment. My neice had this treatment. She has an inoperable liver cancer and was given less than 11 months. That was 3 years ago. Y 90 and Dr Rose, in San Diego, has given her an extension on life. It shrinks the tumor by putting it inside the liver, inside the tumor (I think). She's done a few half marathons, but chemo has been a struggle for her system. Now she has had the gene marker identified to figure out a more exact treatment. She keeps fighting onward!

    Good luck! Its an amazing procedure.

    I am having it done at Moffitt Cancer Center.  I had IL2 prior to being on Sutent but that did not work.
