I am a 72 yr old dealing with the same thing all of you are, stage IV Prostrate cancer. Diagnosed about 10 years ago. Redroadrunner could have written my story, with the exception of I did go through chemo to arrive at Pluvicto.
Interesting how many of you bought Geiger Counters, I thought I was the only one, or at least in the minority.
I just received # 3 infusion about a week ago and the side effects, although not terrible, are worse.
Strangely I seem to have developed the symptoms best described as gout.
Pain in the joint of my big toe. This is what brought me to this website/thread.
I’m not sure it is a side effect of the Pluvicto, but I’ve never had gout before and I there is nothing in my diet that would cause it.
I didn’t “flush” (drink water) as much as I should have yesterday and the pain, that was subsiding, is worst today.
I am only halfway through but so far the side effects are fairly mild. Chemo was much worse.
I’ve always taken the approach that doing nothing was not an option. So I will take advantage of whatever treatments are available.
My quality of life is still very good and as long as that is the case I will continue.
Thank you all for your posts, I enjoyed reading them very much. We’re not alone.

@preservationworks, welcome. Pain in your big toe is quite specific. metas2019 mentioned weakness in this discussion:
- Knee / thigh weakness after Pluvicto? Knee / thigh weakness after Pluvicto?

Are you noticing joint pain any where else?
