After Brachytherapy, ADT and EBRT

My thoughts; each of us react differently to the cancer within our bodies. I was diagnosed at age 57 and had HDR break Therapy and ADT therapy continuous. I have had some chemo and lots of different pills and changed my diet. I am currently undergoing Pluvicto treatments., which is what I would recommend. If Medicare doesn’t cover them hopefully your insurance will pick up part of the tab. Each treatment and there are six and the program is approximately $44,000. One treatment every six weeks.
It reduced my pain levels by more than half and I was only nauseous and sick for the first three or four days and then I started feeling good enough to resume living my life. It did not cure me nor did it bring my PSA down but I do feel better and I look forward to some radiation on an Aggressive spot of cancer on my vertebrae. My PSA is 377 and going up about one point per day, which is my greatest concern and also something I cannot get answered from any of my doctors.
Radiation has been the best and effective treatment for the bone cancer, which followed the prostate cancer chemotherapy was mostly just money for the hospital and illness for me. I’m not sure at the most effective path to cure this; but that is something I surely wish I knew.

If your PSA continues to climb perhaps you have become castrate resistant? Perhaps genetic testing may be in order as well? Best,
