Hi everybody, I started my Pluvicto therapy yesterday, I would like to exchange ideas, impressions, feelings etc. I know this is a newly developed treatment, so the body of information may not be extensive.
I am a 65 ( almost 66 ) old male, I was first diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2011, Underwent radical prostatectomy and everything seemed resolved. In 2019, the cancer appeared again, this time in my lymphnodes. Since then, I have been doing hormone therapy, at first with Lupron depot injections ( 22.5 mg. every 3 months ) and, starting in 2020, daily capsules of Erleada and Xstandy, plus Lupron. Since 2019 my PSA is been fluctuating from about .4 to .18, . In 2021, the cancer had spread to at least 2 locations in my bones, therefore , I have also done 3 separate sessions of radiation to resolve pain with mixed success. Started chemotherapy on May, 2023. Since the cancer stopped responding to hormone and chemo therapy about three months ago, my doctor recomended Pluvicto, which I started yesterday.
Side effects so far ( 36 hours into it ) : NAUSEA, LOSS OF APPETITE, INCREASED FATIGUE, STRONG MALAISE .
Although I try my best to mantain a positive attitude and not give in to my fears, I am in a situation that is very difficult : I have zero support, lost my wife in 2021 to Covid, and , having just moved to a different state just before, no friends or family. I would like to thank you all in advance for any exchange of ideas and impressions.
