Just update my treatment plan. It will be Lutathera (lutetium Lu 177) for initial 4 doses, which has been approved by my insurance. The first dose will be injected on June 28, 2023.

Hi, my hubs starts his Lutathera on June 21st. It'll be interesting to compare notes. Did they give you the info about how long it'll take and precautions, etc? I was told it would be 6 to 8 hours. In your own room with a bathroom to use hourly (keep the kidneys healthy, big concern with this treatment). And I was told this med comes in from either Italy or NJ and sometimes the patient has to wait for it bc they only send it out so many hours prior to giving it to the patient. They also give nausea meds and amnioacids, I think, again to help pricy the kidneys. Please let us know how you made out and I'll do the same for my hubs.
