Anyone have Prostate Cancer Stage 4 with good results?

This sounds like a case where chemo and or Pluvicto Could reduce the pain he’s feeling.
I’ve seen cases where a PSMA pet scan lit up like a Christmas tree and one session of Pluvicto eliminated almost all Metastasis. It doesn’t work that well for everyone, but your husband might benefit greatly from doing it.
Has he already been through chemo? That can also great reduce the pain you’re referring to because it can reduce or eliminate many metastasis.
His PSA is also very high still. Usually abiraterone will usually reduce the PSA to below 1 pretty quickly, And also take the testosterone down below five. It doesn’t appear to be working well unless he’s only been on it for a few weeks.
What have your doctors recommended be done?

He's been on the abiraterone since November. It's coming down. This is the doctor recommended treatment. No chemo has been suggested yet. It's been 6 mos and they aren't recommending anything else. What's Pluvicto? Have you heard anything about Ivermectin or mebendanzole?
Fenbendazole is an antiparasitic drug used in veterinary medicine to treat animal gastrointestinal parasites. There are many stories circulating on social media about using it to treat cancer because preliminary research is investigating the use of fenbendazole in cancer. See this sober and helpful comment in the pancreatic cancer group https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/1186515/
The use of fenbendazole for cancer (or the human equivalent biosimilar drug mebendazole) is still experimental, and more studies are needed to determine its success and safety in humans.
Researchers are studying Ivermectin to see if it may be used as an anti-cancer drug and early studies show promise. Please note that this research is in the early stages (mice studies) and has not yet been tested in human trials. Ivermectin is not a proven standard treatment for prostate cancer.
