Can anyone share their experience with Pluvicto?

That's so inspiring, thanks for sharing!! Are you still on any type of treatment?
I can see you're a fighter and that makes (at least in my eyes) all the difference in the world. Yet, as we know, not everyone has that fight and I feel it makes the outcome or at least the journey much more difficult than it needs to be. Who am I? I'm not the one with the health issues, although I did have to have a radical nephrectomy only 3mos prior to his diagnosis, thankfully no treatment and no more cancer.

@cencalwife Yes, I'm still on ADT (Orgovyx) and an ARSI (Erleada). And as you suggest, being willing to fight is only half the story, if that.
I had a childhood friend diagnosed with lymphoma in 2021, the same year I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer. He fought hard too, and initially, he was doing much better than I was (he'd ride his bike over to visit when I could barely shuffle onto the front porch using a walker, and was even thinking about dating). But his cancer took him in 2023, while mine is in full (medically-supported) remission.
A lot of it is just dumb luck. I tolerate ADT and Erleada well —just the normal side-effects like hot flushes, weight gain, gynocomastia, etc. — and because of that, I've been able to stay on them for nearly 5 years now.
