At what point do you start Pluvicto?

I feel your frustration. My husband finished his pluvicto treatment last September
All was well until yesterday. His psa shot up to over 200. And another treatment called xofigo will be administered
His treatment was standard.
First zytiga then nubeca, pluvicto and noe xofigo.
We love our husbands and we are usually their best advocates
Take care of your self and prayer and taking vate of yourself is key. Stress will cause more harm on yourself.
If any others have gone through this regiment of drugs, could you share your experiences.

Do you care to share what his "journey" was? and when he was diagnosed and what stage?
It's quite a downer to hear this, after reading that Pluvicto is a wonder drug for PC!

Xofigo Is commonly used when somebody has a lot of bone mets. It is the radium 223 treatment which is used in bone mets cases.
Hopefully it can help resolve some of the bone mets that he has.
Bone Mets should be zapped with SBRT but if there are too many Xofigo is a better choice.
Pluvicto can be used a second time. After Xofigo it might make sense. In Australia it is a pretty common treatment.
Have you had genetic testing?? Some people’s somatic tests (on blood or tissue) Have actually shown they have genetic issues like BRCA2 or ATM. That allows them to use a PARP Inhibitor, which can keep the cancer controlled.
Have you had hereditary genetic testing? Has it been offered to you by a doctor? You can get it done FREE with the below link, if you live in the United States. Do not check the box that you want your doctor involved or they won’t send you the kit until they get in contact with your doctor. It takes about three weeks to get the results and then a genetic counselor will call you.
