For those following my Pluvicto treatment, my personal protocol and why, I am now two weeks after my fourth Pluvicto radiation infusion.

My current radiation readings are:

Arms length (3 feet): 0.01

One foot away: 0.03

Next to body: 0.22

If you recall, they turn you loose from the hospital when your 3 foot reading is around 3.

So my personal experience as above shows a decline in my 3 foot measurement from a 3 to a negligible 0.01.

With my next to body reading having declined to 0.22 I now deem myself to be relatively safe to be with people and to have extended contact.

My concern on all of this is to NOT cause "collateral radiation damage" to any caregivers, friends and loved ones. The cumulative level of damage through exposure is the strength of the radiation times the amount of time exposed. At my current next to body reading of 0.22 millirems per hour a person who was in constant contact with me for one hour would receive only 0.22 millirems of radiation. This may be compared to the standard cumulative radiation limit level of 100 millirems per year.

To summarize, my personal protocol is to isolate myself completely for one week, to allow casual, but no extended contact for the second week after treatment, and to resume "normal" life thereafter until my next treatment which comes in four more weeks if thete are no complicating factors.

Hope this information has been useful to those who are interested in a deeper dive into the effect of Pluvicto treatments on their body as it relates to radiation exposure to caregivers, friends and family.
