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.

My husband has stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer too, and received his 1st Pluvicto treatment last Tuesday. He has been in extreme pain in his leg(shin) and hip (where he had a hip replacement about a 3 years ago.) We know he has some cancer in his bone in the hip but not sure about the shin. He has had an terrible headache off and on throughout the days. Anyone have any similar side effects and what are you using to help with them?
