Can anyone share their experience with Pluvicto?

My Chemo was deemed to have failed after 2 treatments of stagnate 13 PSA and I was allowed Pluvicto 12/2023. My PSA was halved with my next test. PSA dropped with each test after finally reaching 0.11-0.15 for the next months until 12/2024 when it began to increase. December was 1.05 followed by March 4.01. Pluvicto was a respite for me, I got to be myself again for 1 year or so. Side affects were minimal during the 6 treatments and for me was a blessing. Now I'm seeking another treatment plan, Oncologist appointment today. I was diagnosed in 2016 and am 74 now.

My situation is similar. I completed 6 Pluvicto treatments Feb.2024 and psa stayed around .2 for 11 months.
Now psa is 4.6 which is doubling each month.
MO says I'm in uncharted waters and is still not sure of treatment options.
I can not afford the cost of re-treatment of Pluvicto and FDA has not approved beyond six treatments.
Anyone with treatment ideas is appreciated.

Doing Pluvicto A second or third time is not unusual. In Australia, it has become more common. You should ask about the possibility of having it a second time. I’m surprised that they pulled you off chemo after two different tries and the PSA not dropping below 13. I’ve heard that from many people, but when they continue with it, it does work for some of the people. I know people have had their PSA rise after having a second or third chemo session, Only to have a drop After later sessions.
Ask your doctor about it, Would it make sense to try it again?
