URGENT I am on Zolodex every 12 weeks to reduce testosterone the fertilizer of pc
When cancer went to bones they radiated 1 inch out of L2 lumbar in 2020 Then put me on Xtandi or Enzalutamide which lasted a year keeping my PSA down to 1.7 It rose to 9.8 so takenOFF of Xtandi which fails after a year
They were going to start Chemo docetaxel when I went to PMH Princess Margaret Hospital and said NO
As its only in bones you qualify for Radium 223 or Xofigio which targets only cancer cells in bones and kills them and only the cancer cells No hair loss just a tad tired and occasional pooping One 3 minute injection in vein every 4 weeks for 6 months then another bone scan My local Mississauga hospital does it every Wed for me so no travel to Toronto Its all covered by healthcare I am 79 Had prostate radiated out in 2017 It came back 4 yrs later
They also include a 12 week needle injection of Xgeva that puts calcium from the blood back into the bones I take 600 mg of calcium with D and K pills from pharmacy as well as 2 apple cider vinegar gummies daily
GOOGLE all these names
Stop chemo get immediately on Xofigio. Lu 177 is still clinical trials but its for cancer that has spread outside the bones Radium 223 is for bone only which you have
Find Xofigio support from a oncologist Save yourself I am on 4th injection Feel great.

Thanks for the response. I will look into this and speak with my doctor about R233. At this point I am looking for anything that will offer a little hope.

Lutetium 177 is now available to patients outside clinical trials, at least in the U.S. It is marketed as Pluvicto, and deals with metastases on the spine and other bones as well as elsewhere. Many people on Mayo Connect are discussing Pluvicto. If you are in South Dakota, oldfords, you could easily get to Mayo Rochester if there is no one closer to you. Do a search on "Pluvicto" in Mayo Connect and you can read these discussions.
