Hi Jeff, thanks for lots of good info for me to look into! Triplet therapy was one of my direct questions to the oncologist based on my previous research. To summarize, he basically said my dad was too old and he had never prescribed docetaxel to anyone over the age of 76. My dad's in pretty good health and travels internationally multiple times a year and stays decently active, but is unquestionably in the elderly category. It's not a stretch for me to understand that might be too aggressive on him at this stage. However, the lack of ARSI seemed not aggressive enough and which drove me here (amongst other places) to do some more research. I've taken some notes and will look into some of the more specific drugs you've mentioned instead of the general treatment paths I've been investigating. More to learn, appreciate your help!

I was in a webinar today and they were discussing chemotherapy versus Pluvicto. They said that the side effects for Pluvicto were much easier to handle than with chemo.

It still may be too much as far as the doctors concerned, but it can’t hurt to ask.
