    Bowel Cancer and Liver Metastasis

    My mother has Dukes D bowel cancer that has inoperable metastasis to the liver. She has completed numerous rounds of chemotherapy over 22 months plus a bowel resection when the metastasis to the liver doubled. She recently had SIRT spheres and has been in constant pain since. It has been just over 6 weeks since the procedure. Has anyone had experience with this treatment and the side effects? We have had another scan which has shown an enlarged lymph node on the bowel and minimal change in the liver metastasis.
