How long should I expect the side effects of nausea and fatigue to last after PRRT treatment?

@caregiver207
They give you medication for the nausea when you get the treatment
It worked for me I never had any nausea
Fatigue was bad the first couple of days
Just rest drink gallons of water or Gatorade Zero for some reason sugar made me feel worst
The results are worth it!!!!
I am stable now for 1 year
Good luck
Bring food a pillow slippers blanket and wear really comfortable clothes
It’s takes a long time

I experienced fatigue for about 2 days, not to the point where I couldn’t function, not sure if it was directly affected by the treatment. I also get a respiratory reaction to the Ocreotide shots after the treatment so I have a double shot of Benadryl before the shot. .. And with the nausea meds they give I did not experience any nausea..

@vinnie694 thank you so much for the information. My husband’s oncologist has not been very helpful when discussing the impact of the side effects.

I felt great till the nausea med injection wore off (48 hours). I was able to drive myself home (1 hour) after the treatment with no problem. However, I just felt “yuck” for 3 days. Tired, queasy, mild headache, no appetite. It wasn’t horrible, but not pleasant either. I took long naps, 2-3 hours. I was back to normal day 6.

I noticed today that most professionals limit the amount of information given (which is why I am prepared to ask a lot of questions, check Google, ChatGBT and anywhere where I can get a better understand of what's happening. I think these are just the times and we have to alter our expectations.
Good luck!
