What a great report, @dbamos1945! I appreciate you sharing your journey with NETs. So that our newer members understand, is Beta PRRT different from the PRRT that many members have mentioned?

Non-invasive surgeries and biopsies (by endoscopy) are so much easier to recover from and can often be done as an outpatient. My first two surgeries (for rather small NETs) were done by an invasive surgery (3-hour surgery plus a 5 -7 day hospital stay). My third surgery was done by endoscopy and I was in and out in the morning.

Teresa: There is a newer version of the original Beta PRRT in advanced clinical trials now. The Alpha PRRT from what I understand is also directed to the targeted cancer cells, but more “highly active” in destroying the cell nucleus and remaining active longer in the body. Time will tell Alpha PRRT treatment success vs. Beta PRRT and it is beneficial to remain as educated as possible to all prospective treatments.
PRRT remains a Miracle in my book! Best of health to all…
