Husband is 86 yrs old, pluvicto is being strongly recommended as all other treatments have run their course. He has ALL with Philadelphia Positive Chromosome which is in clinical recession, high blood pressure, depressive,
Diabetic, kidney disease, very low heart rate, anemia which he gets transfusions for, and is 100% incontinent. He is very fatigued due to medications for all of the above. Cath would be used but because of side effects making him more weak he needs a caregiver who would probably be in close proximity during the first 3 days while attending to cleaning him & flushing the urine down toilet & cleaning up any vomit or spills.
At 80 yrs of age I do not want the exposure to radiation nor do I have the physical reserve to empty cath bag every 2 hrs. Around the clock for 3 days.
Has anyone had any experience on managing all of this. He wants to stay at our camp home for the 3 days but Dr. said he needs a caregiver & I cannot do it. Not sure how quality of life will improve with Pluvicto treatment & hoping he can find a caregiver as he wants the treatment.
