My dad has had 1 treatment so far. He was in bad shape going into it- the cancer is all in his lymph nodes which are extremely swollen on his neck. He does have some Mets in his bones but those don’t seem to bother him too much. His biggest issue is hydration and nutrition. The last round of chemo he had destroyed his gut. He has lost 70+ lbs in 6 months and struggles everyday to keep down any food and drink. As far as the pluvicto side effects, the only new symptom that came on was diarrhea. It’s heartbreaking to watch. Has anyone experienced a significant improvement in quality of life from plucivto? He desperately wants to see his grandchildren graduate in June but watching him suffer so much is hard. He doesn’t want to
Give up and I’m praying for a miracle

So far, Pluvicto has only some positive effect after 4 treatments.

@hpete710 how is your dad doing now? I found this group looking for Pluvicto side effects as my dad just received his first treatment and has been fatigued and nauseous since. He seemed to be recovering three days after only to have a huge setback, have lots of diarrhea, supposedly a c. diff infection and now seem to be fighting for his life. Huge hugs to you and your family. It is so hard to watch a loved one suffer. 😥
