I'm not on Pluvicto but I'm very interested in hearing about your husband's experience with it since it is something I've been very interested in. Did the docs say why they are using Pluvicto? Where do you guys live? How old is your husband and how long ago was he diagnosed?

He was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer a little over 4 years ago. He has had several rounds of chemo and radiation. Given his treatment history and disease status the docs thought Pluvicto could keep it from progressing for a while (hopefully through the 6 cycles?). We were very happy for him to be able to try it. The docs aren't sure the pain is related to treatment but given that it started right after treatment, they think it might be so I was curious to find out if any other men have experienced prolonged pain after treatment. Given that it is relatively new, I think they are still learning about it.
