Does Pluvicto work? What's the prognosis?

Thank you all for your input. I read and digest everything, but go by my own research and my oncologist. Sure, probably not a problem if careful, but I take no chances. I've always acted on the side of caution without being "worried" about it...ultimately, it's common sense...
And yes, I think I previously posted a quote from a prominent Oncologist...(to paraphrase)...'we do what works until it stops working, then we move on to something until it stops working'...ad nauseam (excuse the expression). "One man's meat is another man's poison..."
I'll check back in 3 months after a scan and let y'all know if I'm one of the lucky ones..........
Blessings to all.

Interestingly, that strategy is in flux these days, at least for metastatic prostate cancer.
Instead of the traditional sequential treatment escalation (one treatment until it stops working, then the next, and so on…) a growing number of major trials are suggesting that you're better hitting metastatic prostate cancer with everything you've got up front. That's the basic philosophy behind doublet and triplet therapy for example.
Obviously, that doesn't apply to all types of treatment, and not all oncologists have bought into such a drastic shift, but it's moved from bleeding-edge when my treatment started in 2021 to borderline mainstream now, which is an extraordinarily fast change (and why the SEER data about our survival prospects is suddenly badly out of date).
