4 treatment options from my doctor, which one should I start with?

Had a discussion with my oncologist. The plan would be Lutathera (IV radiation) as the first choice if approved by the insurance, otherwise will start with chemotherapy with temozolomide and capecitabine. He also asked their radiologist to look at my pet scan and think not all my cancers would respond to Lutathera. It seems my case is so rare.

I'm curious as to why not all of your cancers would respond to Luathera? I've never heard of anyone having more than one type of cancer at the same time. Generally it originates in one place and then metastasizes to other areas of the body. Could it bc of the location of the NET'S rather than the type? I'm curious, as,my hubs starts the Lutathera next month.
