Hi @rso, I searched Connect and could not find a member discussing Lutetium-177-PSMA-617. I think that's mainly because it's a new treatment only recently being approved on March 23, 2022. It sounds like this could be a beneficial teatment for many patients with advanced prostrate cancer.

Have you discussed the possibility of the treatment with your care team?

Hopefully you can schedule the PSMA scan soon and schedule the treatment. Can you keep us updated?

Certainly will do my best and thank you. The hardest part is getting appointments scheduled.
