It can put you in a position for resection. Resection was not an option for me due to already having 3 resections but y90 did put me in a position for cryo ablation which I had done 5 months after y90 and so far appears to be successful 6 months later. I had real bad hiccups the following day and some fatigue and upset stomach for a week after the treatment but nothing like any chemo cocktails that I have done.
DX 10-05 stage IV
liver resection 12-05 Folfox1-05 to 7-06
Liver resection 8-07 Folfiri 9-07 to 3-08
Liver resection 12-11
Recurrence 2/7/2014, liver, chestwall mets, 16 rounds chemo
7/3/14, y90 radioembolization, steady shrinkage
12/8/14, cryoablation to liver and chest wall
6/1 to 6/26 SBRT radio surgery
7/2 more cryo ablation to right lung
7/16 lung infection drain tube installed
9/4 chest wall resection to remove 2 ribs
