Anyone on Pluvicto (Lu 177), a new drug for prostate cancer?

Posted by dedehans @dedehans, Aug 20, 2022

My close friend has had Pluvecto treatment suggested to him by oncologists. It is relatively new, having been approved by the FDA in March 2022. Have any of you been given this drug? I have read it is radioactive material and patient needs to stay away 6 ft from others for at least 3 days so as not to contaminate them. He has not yet decided whether to take the treatment or not as he is feeling awful enough as is.

Received Pluvicto #3 this morning. No apparent side effects from #1 or #2. I was on Chemo (3 doses) and could feel the battle within; since changing to Pluvicto I have returned to myself, in most respects. We each react differently, but this has given me back an active life. Bloodwork after #2 showed lower PSA; 2.3 from 10.6. Bloodwork between #1 and #2 had PSA nearly unchanged. Original diagnoses Jan 2016, removal May 2016, 35 days of radiation July/Aug 2016.
