Hello,
I just finished my third round of Lutathera treatment. Each treatment takes 5-6 hrs, no pain or radical side effects. Most of the time is for Amino Acid infusion to protect Liver and Kidneys before and after Lutathera.
I can't measure the effectiveness of the treatment until I have a scan done after the 4th and last infusion.
I still have carcinoid symptoms, but they seemed to have diminished. Studys done with Lutathera indicate
a very positive success rate. Some as high as 70% in stopping tumer growth or reducing size. You'll have to do the research. I have several metastatic carcinoid tumers abdominal and liver involvement. If this doesn't work
I'll probably go back on Everolimus.
Good Luck
Thanks
John
