Hi, Thanks for writing in. The lutetium therapy is treatment by infusing a radioisotope in your veins. It is given by combining with a substance called database. This is then given as IV. Since you have taken it over two cycles therefore you might be aware of directions and precautions during lutetium therapy. Usually 3-4 treatments are given every 12-16 weeks and this is a regular protocol. Your doctor is following current standards and doing the right thing. It will help to know how much the cancer resolves at the end of treatment. Please continue treatment under recommendation of your doctor. Cancer requires proper treatment to prevent recurrence and promote cure and treat the disease. Please do not worry.
