Has anyone had SIRT for inoperable secondary liver metastes?

My sons oncologist has suggested she put him forward for SIRT treatment.  He is 34 had part of his bowel resected beginning of may 2016 and has had 12 cycles of chemo every second week involving 3 day stay in hospital.  The chemo and trial drug have stopped doing the job and I would like to hear from anyone who has had this treatment, and how it worked for them. thank you. lesliexx

  • Hello sadmum,

    I'm sorry to hear about your son's situation and for the reason you are posting.

    I hope you get to meet other members who have had this treatment or have a partner or loved one that have had experience of SIRT treatment soon but in the meantime I have found some information about it on our website if you want to find out more. Our cancer nurses will also be able to answer any questions you may have about this treatment as well. If you want to chat to them you can call them Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on 0808 800 4040.

    Best wishes to you and your son, 

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
