Xofigo is a radiopharmaceutical similar to Pluvicto but is only effective against cancer in the bone and will not treat cancer in soft tissue or lymph nodes like Pluvicto does. I received four doses of Xofigo After which my doc pulled the plug as it was not doing me a whole lot of good so he started me on Docetaxol x 6 doses so that I could qualify to get Pluvicto (which currently requires treatment with chemotherapy first).
I am currently on Xofigo. Getting ready to get my fourth dose out of six. Won’t really know how effective it is until after the sixth dose and a PMSA scan. Unlike Pluvicto, you don’t have to have had chemo to get Xofigo, so for me Pluvicto would be a potential next step in treatment. But, I would have to have tried a round of chemo first. Most, if not all of my cancer is in the bones and Xofigo focuses only on bone cancer. Pluvicto, on the other hand is reputed to be affective on cancer in the organs and lymph nodes as well.
I really appreciate reading about the experiences and comments of everyone in this group and would like to put a plug in to everyone to include frequent prayer to our God in heaven, giving him thanks for all the good things that happen and asking for his help to cope with the problems.
May God bless and heal us all!
