Hi everyone, 

My cousin has just had her first session of PRRT treatment and I wondered if anyone had any experiences of what comforted them or helped them feel any better after the treatment? 

  • Hi  and a warm welcome to the Macmillan Online Community but sorry that you needed to find us and I am especially sorry to hear about your cousin's diagnosis. It’s great that you are looking into how you can best support her on her treatment journey, I am sure she will be so grateful.

    Talking with other people who are on the same type of journey will help you understand about the treatment rollercoaster.

    The Community is organised into dedicated support groups so can I recommend you join our supportive Neuroendocrine tumours group as PRRT is often used.

    This will be a good place to connect with others navigating the support of a family member on the same type of cancer journey.

    To join a group just click on the link above then choose 'click to join' or 'join' (depending on the device you're using) on the page that opens. Then you can introduce yourself by putting up a ‘New Thread’ or hit the box with the X on the top right (phones) you could just copy and paste the text from this your first post. You can also join in with existing ‘Discussions’ by clicking on 'reply'. 

    Talking with others caring for family and friends will help a lot so do check out our Family and friends group as you will connect with others walking the same journey supporting family and friends through their cancer journey.

    It’s always good to talk and the Macmillan Support Services provides lots of information, support, financial guidance or just a listening ear.

    Most services are open 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week and it's free to call on 0808 808 00 00 have a look by Clicking here to see what is available and we also have our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two working days for replies from our expert team.

    ((hugs))
