PRRT Treatment

Posted by rkklinger @rkklinger, May 29 10:35am

My husband is having PRRT with Lutathera on Tuesday. After reading the information sent from Mayo, he is a little concerned about side effects. What should we expect after the treatment Tuesday afternoon? Are there immediate side effects? Any thoughts will be appreciated.

I had prrt nearly 3 years ago. It shrunk my tumours in total by about 20% and they are still stable so well worth it. I just found myself getting tired for about 2 days after each treatment. The actual prrt is painless and only takes about 1 hour all in. Cannot recommend it high enough.

Hi I get 3 weekly lanreotide injections thats about it really. I limit my sugar intake and exercise quite a lot. As you are now going for the 5th one, has your husbands tumors starting growing again? Is he getting regular lanreotide injections?
