I do not have a stent, the PRRT treatment I received was called Lutathera, all 4 treatments went well. I first receive an injection to help with nausea, then they start an amino acid drip in one arm, to protect the kidneys and other vital organs. Then after 30-40 minutes after they start the Lutathera drip in the other arm, usually about 20 minutes, after they continue the amino acid drip for another 2 1/2 hours. The only side effects I ever had was tired for a few days. But an hour after the treatment I receive my Ocreotide shots, (for carcinoid syndrome)which I get a severe respiratory reaction to, so I take a double dose of Benadryl before I get the shots, that also makes me tired.. 🥱 .. what is the name of the PRRT treatment you receive?
