I cannot express my respect and gratitude for your information. My husband was just told he must start that at UCSF as soon as it gets set up. I have lots of questions and one of the first ones is how about transporting my husband home in the car after treatments. Is a hazmat suit crazy I see they sell on Amazon. I hope to stay in touch with you and I send you love, light and healing in your journey. The doctor really didn't go over any choices or side effects and told us how lucky my hubby was that this treatment is available now. It is so important to know how to minimize suffering and side effects and protect one's family and friends. Thanks 'Lynne

How long is the drive home? Back seat may do. 3’ apart is pretty safe.

I am the poster boy for the Pluvicto treatment, having gone through all six treatments with minimal side effects and maximum benefits.

In my opinion the hazmat suit is overkill. I DO however highly recommend you get a dosimeter (about $100 from Amazon) and daily monitor your readings at RMS length and t skin level. We are an hour and a half drive home after the treatment and felt it worked ok to just sit the patient as fr away from the driver as possible for the drive home.

Although for me the Pluvicto treatment I would count as a success, at this point I have lost the battle. I am on hospice care on my last legs awaiting my final journey.
Unfortunately there is no cure. Every treatment, no matter how good, is simply a delay. In my case I was able to delay about five years and maximize my quality of life during that time.
