Can anyone share their experience with Pluvicto?

Posted by vcash @vcash, Apr 22, 2024

My 85 year old dad has prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones. Zytiga is no longer effective. He is considering Pluvicto. I would appreciate input from those who have used Pluvicto.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Prostate Cancer Support Group.

What if you have PTen and TP53 as well as ATM and BRCA?

Got to admit, that’s a lot of genetic issues.

Are all 4 really found in one person?

I would not even try to make a guess.

79 years young with metastacized Prostate Cancer in my ribs & backbone. I also have IPF. I have been dealing with the cancer for 4 plus years. Chemo, ADT, direct radiation to the prostate, and now I"ve had two rounds of Pluvicto. Side effects: tiredness (to add to the effect from all the meds), dry mouth, increasing discomfort in my bowels, and a gnawing question about whether its working. My doc won't do another PSMA scan till after the 4th treatment which is frustrating - only way to know if its working or not. No pain from injection - hassle keeping distance from my wife and sleeping in separate rooms ( we like each other) but the tiredness increases and I wonder about other side effects. Thought it good news (at least for the drug company) that they have now approved it for use without chemo or ADT - the idea is great and hope its working and killing the cancer cells. Choose life, fight, fight, fight.

Michael, I hope that you've now had that fourth round of Pluvicto and the PSMA PET scan is now scheduled. I'm 77 years young, extensive mets, heart and other comorbidities, but taking it all as it comes and making the most of each day. Keep on keeping on.

thank you for your good thoughts. Pluvicto is on hold due to other medical issues, and yes, one day at a time and it all belongs to Him.
