PRRT Theranostics Update

PRRT Update:
Today I got the absolute best news😁 Had my PRRT follow-up appt with the Radiologists. After reviewing both of my surgery path reports & all scans, all Drs agree the one small spot in lower colon/vaginal cuff is too small to treat right now. But if/when it grows I’ve been screened & can go immediately to PRRT treatment. So happy the NETS specialists & radiologists all agree! I will continue to have scans every 3-6 months (MRI, CT, PET) blood work & continue monthly Octreotide injections. Best news I’ve had since being diagnosed in 2022! Feeling so blessed!
**Also found out PICC lines are only used on someone with poor venous access.

Typically PICC lines are less trouble. They are less likely to get infected, and less likely to have complications. I had a PICC line for TPN for over a month and I have good proud veins. They do have to be flushed regularly and my dressing around it was reworked once a week. I didn't have any trouble with it.
