Please do not go overboard with worries or preparations to deal with the radiation caused by Pluvicto infusions. And please do not pay attention to posts which say you need to isolate for a week or buy a Geiger counter or not travel together in your own car. My husband had Pluvicto treatments in 2024 at Mayo Rochester, and the instructions we received from the radiation team in that department were for me to avoid my husband's bodily fluids and excretions for three days, and not to have young children or pregnant women get near him for a few days. We were staying in a Rochester hotel and used the same room with two beds until we left for home a day later, and were told that would be fine. We sat at the same table for meals in Rochester immediately after the infusions. We had a long drive home in the same car from MN to IN, and were told that would not be at all dangerous either. So please do not blow the radiation issue out of proportion and cause yourself needless worry and extra work or expense. I hope this helps.

Thanks, and "Nahhh"...I take everything in stride...No need for excessive concerns (NOT worries) except those first 3-5 days. My legitimate concern is for those around me. I am single and have gone through these entire procedures by myself...No biggie, I'm used to it...But I speak out of respect for those that HAVE to be around me...Drivers, store attendants, should I have chosen to shop,...neighbors, my teenage daughter, etc...I mean, why take any chances??
I read everything with a grain of salt and a humorous (yes, I know this is serious stuff, but that's how I keep my sanity!!) outlook...And, since this is my first rodeo with Pluvicto, I'm ever more watchful...
I thank you for your input...how is your husband now, 2 years after?

Blessings

Thank you all for your input. I read and digest everything, but go by my own research and my oncologist. Sure, probably not a problem if careful, but I take no chances. I've always acted on the side of caution without being "worried" about it...ultimately, it's common sense...

And yes, I think I previously posted a quote from a prominent Oncologist...(to paraphrase)...'we do what works until it stops working, then we move on to something until it stops working'...ad nauseam (excuse the expression). "One man's meat is another man's poison..."
I'll check back in 3 months after a scan and let y'all know if I'm one of the lucky ones..........
Blessings to all.

I had my first Pluvicto infusion yesterday. Interesting...
...I live alone, so I don't have to exercise as many precautions as those around others. The day after effects are the obvious...tired, but unlike the tiredness of radiation, chemo or ADT...No effects on appetite. A bit of dry mouth and throat...nothing debilitating...I'll keep you posted as time goes (flies) by.
Blessings to all
