@digger My husband's first treatment with Pluvicto was last week. Upon advice of the medical team, we used three days not sleeping in same bed or close contact and 7 days for no contact with children. Another tip -- RNs with the nuclear medicine team administering the treatment emphasized the importance of taking anti-nausea meds immediately after treatment to prevent symptoms (nausea, vomiting). He did that. His only side effect has been fatigue. Good luck on your treatment!

Hello Dave,

I have had 5 Pluvicto treatments so far. Number six coming up in a few weeks.

I bought a dosimeter so I could check on my actual radiation reading instead of just blindly following the official guidelines of staying three feet away from people for three days.

Based on my actual radiation reading history, my personal protocol is to isolate myself completely for one week, i.e. no physical contact, no sleeping with the wife; then for the second week allow brief physical contact - a hug or a handshake ok but no prolonged contact such as cuddling or sleeping together. After two weeks my radiation level is back to "normal" and full contact and sleeping together is ok.

If you are a person like me who wants direct knowledge and wants to make your own decisions concerning your own health, treatments, and how much radiation exposure to your loved ones and caregivers that you personally are ok with, I urge you to do what I did - purchase a dosimeter (about $100 on a Amazon), take daily readings (one at arms length and one touching your body) a come to your own decisions.

Russ is on his 3 rd this week at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Mn ! He does quite well after ! Dr Childs and his team are awesome!
