What is the recommended treatment after 6 Pluvicto doses?
I will have had 6 Pluvicto doses next month. PSA has decreased some. SE have been much easier to tolerate than chemotherapy. What is the recommended maintenance treatment after receiving Pluvicto?

I just finished my 2nd round of Pluvicto, I am feeling very fatigue, lower back pain, exhausted, shortness of breath, almost non functioning, non stop urination, and confused at times otherwise everything is ok.
First round for me was exactly the same. This second round has been a lot tougher.
After a significant delay - 4 months- I will resume Pluvicto, with careful monitoring of side effects and PSA. Can find no related data.
Hello Dave,
I have had 5 Pluvicto treatments so far. Number six coming up in a few weeks.
I bought a dosimeter so I could check on my actual radiation reading instead of just blindly following the official guidelines of staying three feet away from people for three days.
Based on my actual radiation reading history, my personal protocol is to isolate myself completely for one week, i.e. no physical contact, no sleeping with the wife; then for the second week allow brief physical contact - a hug or a handshake ok but no prolonged contact such as cuddling or sleeping together. After two weeks my radiation level is back to "normal" and full contact and sleeping together is ok.
If you are a person like me who wants direct knowledge and wants to make your own decisions concerning your own health, treatments, and how much radiation exposure to your loved ones and caregivers that you personally are ok with, I urge you to do what I did - purchase a dosimeter (about $100 on a Amazon), take daily readings (one at arms length and one touching your body) a come to your own decisions.

@larke, what led to your having to delay treatment with Pluvicto? How are you doing?
No initial delay. Completed the usual 6 treatments, six weeks apart. Relative success: PSA 75 to 8. March 13 completed.
Agreed to be a test case for MORE Pluvicto and will likely begin in early August. Likely two or three applications.

larke, I am happy to hear that there are clinical trials for men who could benefit for more than six Pluvicto infusions. My husband is already worrying about what comes after his sixth infusion in August.
