First Pluvicto Infusion Soon: What can I expect?

Thank you, Jeff. The radiation oncologist did mention the 1/3, 1\3, 1/3 statistics. My husband had the genetic testing but not the BRCA2. I will ask about that again, though.
I did ask about somatic sequencing and he said that might be done later. Maybe that is the same as BRCA2. I will ask.

BRCA2 it’s just one of About 30 different problems they look for when you do genetic testing.
it’s too bad the doctor doesn’t realize that somatic testing is necessary to find out if you have the two genetic issues I mentioned (RB1 and PTEN that caused Pluvicto not to work.
Taking the somatic test after the fact is too late.
While your hereditary, genetic test doesn’t show anything a somatic test can show different results.
