Hello. I’m the widow of a Pluvicto treated Awesome Godly Man! He was advised to have the chemo before the Pluvicto. Don’t tell my husband Not to do something. He was Always “game on,” when it came to his cancer treatment. Granted he was a 20+ year survivor of Melanoma-from 2002-do I need to tell you BRCA2. Anyway, he passed away 9/11/2024; yet retired from full time work 9/1/2024, although bedridden Hospice at that point. Driving and working until 8/9/2024. He completed his last Pluvicto #6 on 5/14/2024. He had absolutely no side effects from Pluvicto, especially when we realized Zofran caused constipation and told his team he wasn’t taking the Zofran. The “chemo wrecked me.”
There’s So much more to his story, but fight fight fight is what my husband chose to do and we supported him all the way. He was 68 years old. I was an Emergency nurse for 30+ years and a Hospice nurse 41 years ago. Every single human is different. Godspeed and blessings to all of you.

Greetings. I, also, am the wife of a pig-headed man. He was diagnosed Grade 5, Gleason score of 9 last December, with 5 initial mets sites to bones. He takes Nubeqa BID and gets injections of Lupron every 3 months. He did chemo (Taxotere, ending in May), and radiation on the prostate with concentrated radiation to 2 new bone sites - that grew during chemotherapy - in September. Good results from radiation overall, but 2 new sites popped up; next scan in April - at which time Pluvicto is the choice, if there are additional sites. That is why I am beginning earnest research now. I am a retired ER nurse as well, and very much appreciate your post!
Hope you are well and wishing you peace - Mary
