Anyone on Pluvicto? Looking for a support team

My husband had his first Pluvicto infusion three weeks ago. By now, most of his side effects are gone. What follows is his side effect history. He had some nausea the first couple of days, but the sublingual medication Mayo prescribed made him constipated, which he hates, so he didn't take any more anti-nausea medication and took Miralax twice a day for a few days instead until the constipation eased. Luckily the nausea was mild and was gone within a few days. For a few days after the infusion, he had no appetite; by now he is hungry much of the time, but some foods don't taste quite right and others don't appeal to him at all, sohe is figuring out what to eat a day at a time. He still has some extra fatigue but has been out working in the yard a lot anyway. He has a bit of back pain after his yard work, so I am not sure if that is from the exertion or the spinal mets, but suspect it is the yard work because the pain eases when he comes inside and rests. Another note: he had his post-Pluvicto lab work (CBC and CMP) done locally yesterday. The lab faxed the results to the Kwon team at Mayo, who said his numbers are stable, meaning no worrisome effects from the first Pluvicto infusion. His second infusion is scheduled for February 28.

Just an update: my husband had his second Pluvicto infusion on February 28 at Mayo Rochester. Everything went exactly as scheduled and the providers were great as usual. His side effects are mostly the same as after the first infusion--fatigue, appetite and taste changes, but less trouble with his bowels this time around. We learned just before the second infusion that his PSA had gone down a bit and that the volume of the cancer lesions had decreased a bit, which we took to be good news. A few days ago he had another set of post-Pluvicto lab work done locally, and the Kwon team again said his numbers are stable. So we are still scheduled for the third infusion on April 10. Hang in there, everyone.
