Pluvicto only works really well for about 1/3 of people. It works OK for 1/3 and doesn’t work at all for 1/3.
One thing you should do is get a somatic genetic test on your tissue. Also a hereditary genetic test on yourself,, this one is free at prostatecancerpromise.Org
If you have the genetic problems of RB1 or PTEN then Pluvicto will not work well. If you have BRCA Then it normally works very well. It would be helpful to find this out before getting treatment.

I was on Xtandi then Radium 223 each for a year and did 2 chemo's with Doxetel which caused fluid in lungs now since gone after 6 weeks of Prednisone . Prostate radiated in 2017 Spread to spinal bones only in 2020. Now spots in T 10 and L4 to 5. Just had a slip and fall on sidewalk ice at bank last week and fractured my L1
Plan is to do a CT-PSMA scan in Feb and see if I qualify for LU 177 now approved as standard of care in Ontario
Advise appreciated How long do I have?? @northoftheborder @jeff1

I checked out prostatecancerpromise.org but it looks like a no-go, probably because I reside in Canada.
