I'm really sorry to hear that. I assume that "lit up like a Christmas tree" would mean widespread metastases (polymetastatic)? If so, will the radiation be via Pluvicto?

Thank you. Abdomen and chest cavity lymph involvement along with bone metastases in vertebrae. Pluvicto is not part of the current treatment plan. That's not to say it won't come down the road. The hope right now is that the ADT/ARI combo will shrink the main tumor in the prostate a little before radiation. I hope so. I would really like to pee on my own without having to stick a catheter in there 5 or 6 times a day. I'm slightly ambivalent about the whole thing. I'm a CHF patient as well and have been for years. I fully expected to bite the dust from heart failure years ago. This is kind of bonus time for me and regardless, today's a pretty good day.
