Please don"t worry about what happens after the 6 treatments which will take 36 weeks to complete. Concentrate on tomorrows interview ! Your dad needs to appear healthy , He must walk in , no wheelchair. You can use a wheel chair then when you get close to the interview room leave the wheelchair behind and have him walk the last few steps. Give him pain meds but not so much as to make him drowsy . you"ll be in there for about 30-45 minutes. Rehearse the answers to their questions. question : has he fallen in the last year ? answer: NO. question: does he have diarrhea or is he constipated? answer: NO. question: does he have control of his bodily functions? answer Yes. question: does he have a good appetite? answer: Yes. question: is he depressed ? answer: NO. question: does he have a strong support system at home? answer: Yes. question what is his pain level ? answer: about 3 right now but occasionally goes higher to 5 or 6. question: does he walk and exercise ? answer: Yes. Remember, positive answers to all question. Tell dad to think happy thoughts during interview. Go to drug store and get pain relief cream and apply it to his back in the parking lot of the hospital. Important for you to stay calm and positive during interview. Your going to do fine, no worries ! Gene

Gene, thank you for all your information and your recommendations. Dad's appointment was this morning and it went really well. Pending approval by his insurance providers, he will start therapy with Pluvicto in the next two to three weeks! It was a stressful day, but all the preparation and planning paid off. Dad and I met with the nuclear medicine nurse and one of the doctors and we had a very positive conversation. After the discussion, I think we're prepared to move forward with the treatment as soon as we're approved. I'm just so glad to have the chance to do something that might help. Thank you!
