Treatment for Prostate Cancer Metastasized to Bones

I actually had quad therapy since they added the Carboplatin. I am now a few months past that. My post scans still showed the spots but they were smaller. He was unsure whether it was still active cancer or just the so called scar tissue of dead cancer cells. We could have just stopped and waited for another scan in a few months to see or hit it with a 5th. medication. He recommended the latter and gave me the choice and I chose to continue with the Pluvicto. I have completed 2 of the 6 doses. They will do a scan immediately prior to the 4th.dose then based on that scan we’ll decide whether to proceed with 5 and 6. If the scans show the cancer is gone or if it shows the Pluvicto is not working then I’ll probably not receive the 5th and 6th doses.

Urgent Are you having any of those nasty side effects listed as most common Bleeding gums Blood in urine stool etct?
Is 177 better than chemo and is so why?
Why did you chooses this 177 over chemo
Is it killing the bone tumors?
What's is your PSA tests look like as you go with the injections
Can one still travel by air between injections?
Lots of question but I am very concerned and sleepless in Mississauga
THANK YOU SO MUCH
I am offered a clinical blind trial One side chemo, the other 177 with lots of scans and test 1 1/2 hours away versus straight chemo 15 minutes from my home where I go now but not part of the trial The Xtandi I am on is slowly not working PSA 9.3 last Jan down to 1.7 with Xtandi and now up to 4.5
Keep a close eye on the Pluvicto. I had to stop after the 3rd round. My PSA started out at 1.56 and ended up at 20.83. I might be a rare case on that one, so chances are it will help you.

Does Dr. Kwan indicate that this will get rid of the cancer? What is his prognosis?
I just don't understand why I'm only getting Erleada and Eligard and why the Urologist here isn't recommending the 'triple therapy'...I have an appointment in 2 weeks and will ask him...
What about Immunotherapy? Is that an option?
