I had the exact treatment you are referring to with Nubeqa I completed over a year ago. I immediately followed it with Pluvicto so I refer to my treatment with a prefix of Quad or Quinn(since there was Carboplatin and Pluvicto in addition to the triplet therapy so many refer to). I had my chemotherapy at Minnesota Oncology in Maplewood and my pluvicto at Mayo. I iced my head, my hands and my toes To prevent neuropathy And Hair loss. It was very effective. The Antiemetics Given worked great. I also wore the patch after to stimulate my white blood cell count, which worked great. I had about a week of mild nausea But had no trouble exercising and keeping my weight stable. But I was very healthy going into this. A long time runner and regularly lifted Moderate weights. I am one year out now, and my problem has been recovering my hemoglobin. I was at 10.3 A few months ago, and I’m scheduled next week for lab work. I have PET scans every three months and they have been pretty good stable at least, Some improved.

SO helpful - We are looking into the iceing procedure - hair loss isan't a concern, but neuropathy is. Good to know about antiemetics. My hub is in pretty good shape - long time cyclist and athlete, but not much resistance work, which he will start. He has lost weight the last year and has a hip desperate for replacement, so that is put off now, and bummer because it really limits. He is big time into golf now - from windsurfing and telemark skiiing in his youth, so loss of stamina has a wide impact. Curious if the pluvicto was considered prior to chemo - but maybe not because that has just been approved. We still are investigating that, but it wasn't offered yet by our Mayo team. Its really helpful to hear your experience, so thank you again for replying.
