Ideas for Radiation proection for caregivers during Pluvicto treatment

Thankyou! That's so great to have all that information.
Unfortunately, because of the prostate cancer and then he just had a tumor removed at his spinal cord at T4, since November, he has mobility issues and can't just get up and walk to the bathroom and urinate, and he can't sit to urinate because of the TURP that he had done...So, he uses urinals...that gets really messy..I usually wear gloves, empty into the toilet and then wash them out...but with pluvicto that sounds pretty risky...I'm hoping they'll keep him in the hospital for a few days..I'm in Canada, and they actually said only 24 hours...but I would stay away at least 2 days, and now with the info you sent, I would stay away for a week..

My husband had Pluvicto infusions at Mayo Rochester. Their radiation safety instructions were much less strict. They said we could ride in the car together and sleep in the same room right away without worrying. They did advise using separate toilets for a few days and said children and pregnant women should stay six feet away. The infusions are six weeks apart and the radiation declines pretty quickly after each one. No need to isolate the patient and no need to buy a Geiger counter as some men on this forum advocate.

Depending on the results of his next PSMA PET scan, my husband will be turning to Pluvicto as his next treatment option. I have been monitoring this subject line for helpful hints to deal with it. I have read 2 people with first hand knowledge - both of them had gotten Geiger counters "to be sure" (I believe one had said that he had found it on-line for < $100). They would stay in separate bedrooms until their readings dropped enough - one of them said that it would take him a week to get to a reading of zero. I plan on going with a Geiger counter.
We also will have to find a way to keep the cats away from him.

I know it dozens of people that Had Pluvicto and none of them got Geiger counters. It is a bit of overkill. Following distance recommendations is about all you need.

I just dug out the instructions we received at Mayo Rochester from the team that gave my husband Pluvicto. Here they are:

For three days: drink at least eight glasses or water or other non-alcoholic liquid each day.
For one day: use separate bathrooms when possible.
Males should sit while using the toilet to prevent splashing of urine.
Clean up spilled urine yourself. Wipe with damp toilet tissue and flush down the toilet.
Flush twice, and close lid if applicable.
Contact with children under 10: For one day, Do not be closer than arms' length for an extended period of time.
Contact with pregnant women: For two days, sleep in separate bed from your partner if they are pregnant.
It is safe to share a bed with a person who is not pregnant or under 10 years old
You may travel home by car or plane immediately after treatment.
You may stay in a hotel the night of treatment.
