I get Jevtana and Carboplatin every 3 weeks until further notice as long as my blood work remains good and I can tolerate it. I had 13 rounds of Jevtana before they put me on Pluvicto ( lu 177) last year, which has been approved for use by FDA. It wasn't a clinical trial. It works for most people, unfortunately it didn't for me. I had 3 rounds with little side effects. The problem with Pluvicto is that my PSA was at 1.56 at the start and ended up at 20.83 after the 3rd infusion, doubling each time. I stopped it. Now, they might be using Pluvicto along with another new medicine for a clinical trial, which is a possibility. All I can tell you is what might have not worked for me, may work for you, everyone's DNA is different. Try it out, but remember that you are in charge and make the decisions. Best of luck to you and if you have any questions, I'm here always.
