My husband was 58 when first diagnosed, has been Stage 4 since 2011, and is now 77.
He had docetaxel several years ago, which was quite effective, after a bunch of metastases appeared on his spine. When the cancer recurred last year on his spine and other bony spots, he had occasional radiation, mostly SBRT, to the metastases as they appeared. Now the new metastases are appearing much more frequently and in greater numbers, so systemic treatment with Pluvicto was prescribed by Dr. Kwon. He will have his third Pluvicto infusion on April 10. When we asked his medical oncologist what treatments were available after the Pluvicto, he named cabazitaxel, Xtandi, and docetaxel. We haven't asked Dr. Kwon that question yet, but will do that when we see him next. I hope that is what you wanted to know.
