Does Pluvicto work? What's the prognosis?

There is no standard amount of time. Pluvicto works. Four months would be on the Short side.

The guy that runs the Advance prostate cancer online forum for the reluctant brotherhood had his Pluvicto treatment about four months ago. His treatment was so successful that after three treatments, his PSA dropped a .05 and he did not take any more treatments, holding them off till later. His PSA has stayed close to that since the Treatments. He’s had prostate cancer for 12 years and has had almost every treatment you’ve ever heard of.

The biggest problem is that it is not successful for everybody, about 40% of people don’t get good results. The other 60% vary from 50% reduction in PSA to a major reduction in PSA. You need to see what happens to figure out how well it’s going to work for him. Some people get 18 months out of it.

You’re getting a little overworked about the radiation. I know some people that have been told many fewer requirements for keeping apart. You don’t have to worry about it going through a wall.

A 20 minute ride is not enough time for a significant radiation transfer. You could always rent a bigger car for two days, But I bet the doctors will tell you that’s not a problem.

@jeffmarc Exactly. I haven't had Pluvicto myself, but I think the main thing is just not spending 8 hours in the same bed together. Driving in the car doesn't seem like it should be a problem.

Sure would like to talk to the guy from Reluctant Brotherhood to find out who his dr. is or where he goes for treatment. Thank you.
