I had PRRT at Mayo in Phoenix in 2021 due to inoperable NETs scattered throughout my body (had already had two surgeries resulting in the loss of 21" of my intestines). I had an unusual reaction (vertigo, vomiting, etc) to the first infusion so they decreased the dosage to half for the next three with few side effects. I had a Gallium 68 Dotatate PT/CT scan in March 2022 and my condition is considered stable. Were things to change, I would not hesitate to do the treatment again.
However, everyone is different and so will respond differently. And it's a matter of personal choice as to which treatment you choose.
