What to Expect from Lutathera Treatments?

Is this for adrenal cancer?

No. This is for neuroendocrine cancer.

I just completed my four infusions with Lutathera. I would say I was slightly nauseated during my treatment but quickly went away with some anti nausea drugs. After wards 24 to 48 hours later I felt sluggish or uncomfortable, This feeling went away around day three/ four. If you don’t have an inversion to needles your will be fine. Both your arms will have iVS.

Eric, That sounds really encouraging. Thank you very much for the information. Larry P.

How are you both feeling now post-Lutathera? I am waiting to be scheduled for my first treatment because I have a lot of reactions to medications that most people don't experience. Thanks for any additional insight that you can provide.

I should have said that I'm nervous because I have a lot of drug reactions that most other people don't experience.

Just completed 8 months of Lutathera treatments, awaiting results with baited breath. Ask about Histotripsy

Thank you. I will. I know a little bit about Histotripsy because my husband had a liver transplant in late January. Prior to having the transplant, he was treated with Y-90 but we did inquire about Histotripsy. Thanks again. BTW, after multiple opinions, it was decided that I should wait to start lutathera and I was re-started on lanreotide shots every 28 days. I'm getting re-scanned in November so we'll see what my direction is.
