Never fear my comrade in the fight against PC. There is still hope with pluvicto which I believe my doctor has on my list. It is a radioactive substance that can attach itself to the cancer cells and destroy them. Doesn't that sound like fun?

@duberdicus
Be aware of that works real well for 1/3 of people OK for 1/3 of people and not at all for 1/3 of people.

The benefit of Pluvicto lasts for about 18 months

There are genetic issues with Pluvicto

Somatic testing could be helpful before treatment to see if there are any of these genetic issues
RB1, PTen, TP53 are Pluvicto resistant
ATM & BRCA work better with Pluvicto
