Does Pluvicto work? What's the prognosis?
Hi,
Docetaxel doesn't seem to be working..My husband's PSA is up now to 500!! He's had 2 treatments of Docetaxel so far, but they are only giving him 1/3 dose, because he had a tumor removed at his spinal cord at T4 in November and is trying to get mobile now.
So, does Pluvicto work? Is it as good as Docetaxel? What is the prognosis with Pluvicto? This is all so scary.

My friend at 82 years old had Pluvicto and said it’s the best he’s felt in 4 years. He does have to stay isolated for a week after getting his treatment because of the radioactivity. Best wishes.
Thank you. Good to know@kjacko

1 Reaction@archgac Thanks! My hubby 80 yr. feels great too after first treatment though restless/frustrated by the various radioactivity requirements. Wishing your friend good luck with next steps!
