For those of you that have already had PRRT, was it done through a PICC line? Was it inserted the day before procedure or day of?
Thanks:)

@kurtjazzy01 -

I was told six feet. The time exposed also matters. They said not to use public transportation for 3 days afterward.

I had 6 rounds of PRRT and didn't have any pain. It does require 2 IV sites if you find that painful. I experienced fatigue in the days after PRRT. Im 72.

My wife had 3 cycles of PRRT, and the lines were put in the day of before the actual treatment. She experienced no pain issues, and it went smoothly each time. She is 60 years old.
