PRRT Question

@kurtjazzy01
My wife had 3 cycles of PRRT, and the lines were put in the day of before the actual treatment. She experienced no pain issues, and it went smoothly each time. She is 60 years old.

Hi I am 76 and was just wondering I have had surgery 7 times and was wondering I had 2 other cancers. Thanks for letting me know.

@kurtjazzy01
I had 6 rounds of PRRT and didn't have any pain. It does require 2 IV sites if you find that painful. I experienced fatigue in the days after PRRT. Im 72.

@kurtjazzy01 hi i use to be 5 days away of adults and with children 15 days

Hi I was wondering if there is much pain from the PRRT. Thanks kurt I have had several surgery but the older I get makes me nervous.

Hi I w thanks kurtas wondering if there is very much pain from the PRRT? Thanks kurt

@kurtjazzy01 -

I was told six feet. The time exposed also matters. They said not to use public transportation for 3 days afterward.

It all depends on who you come in contact with with
Pregnant and old people and children you should stay away longer
In general 3 days I did 1 week

My Advice
Read up on picc lines before you make any decision
My veins are sooo bad
I did PRRT and choose to not do a picc line and by the last treatment they struggled to find 2 veins to hook me up
What I didn’t realize is that you not only are subjected to be hooked up to 2 lines every treatment you have to get blood tests every 2 weeks
They say your veins flatten I think they just disappear
The blood tests did get extended as long as the results remained good
Good luck
I am stable for 11 months now

Hi if anyone know how far you have to say away from people after the radiation from the prrt?? Thanks kurt
