Hi...I fogot I'd written that ("Chemo Brain")...LOL
Yes, as the PSA's continued to rise (with a low testosterone='castration resistant), I did commence with the Pluvicto treatments. I've had one treatment so far and the "only" side effect, aside from 3-5 days of complete isolation, is extreme tiredness...and I mean EXTREME!!...
...but, 'sorry if this sounds crass, but I'd rather be tired than dead. I can still do my daily duties...just not so many and longer to do them, but it's not really been too much of a hindrance....The next steps are to continue with the Pluvicto, monitor PSA and perhaps do a PSMA-PET scan after 4 treatments to see if need to do more...
Blessings

I'm not sure if this question is directed towards me, but in conversation with my oncologist and taking everything into consideration the answer is Pluvicto. I start this coming Tuesday. I'll check in with immediate after-effects but don't expect a scan for 3-4 months...Then we'll know empirically...
