Can anyone share their experience with Pluvicto?
My 85 year old dad has prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones. Zytiga is no longer effective. He is considering Pluvicto. I would appreciate input from those who have used Pluvicto.

Ok Jeff, Please cite which clinical trail says that. You'd have to share your bodily fluids with your pet to transfer any radio active material to your pets .check that out.On this forum the info we share must be accurate.
Pets are just a susceptible to radiation as people, Maybe even more so since their bodies are so small.
It’s pretty obvious you never even did a search of the web about whether or not you should be near your pets after being treated with Pluvicto because that would Show you that what I said is accurate.
Hi Blane, Jeff Marchi is totally misinformed. There's no Scientific evidence that pets are in danger. Clinical trials didn't include pets. I'm happy jeff didn't have any side effects from his 7 weeks I had over 100 radiation treatments with plenty of side effects. Bulking up is entirely different than putting on fat. You need the fat. Again everyone will have a unique experience. Don't let the negative experiences dictate yours. Good Luck , Gene
Same here Jeff in terms of diet. I eat salmon about 2 times a week and the rest is like chicken, tuna, veggies and fruit. LOVE it!! 🙂

1 ReactionRead through the earlier posts on this thread--good information and advice are there. Good luck to you and hang in there.
Keeping your pet close after Pluvicto would not be a good thing for your pet. It could cause cancer in them. You could wait 3 days To be close to the pet but the half life of Pluvicto is almost 7 days. It will be safer for you to keep your pet away for that amount of time.
This treatment is definitely not easier than radiation for the vast majority of people. I know for myself after 7+ weeks of radiation I had no side effects at all. Some people on Pluvicto cannot even have more than one treatment because their body just rebels heavily. Almost everybody on pluvicto Has dry mouth that makes it a difficult to eat without extra liquid. Serious fatigue is frequently a common problem with Pluvicto treatments, Not something most people have with radiation.
Eating junk food is never a good idea, It’s terrible for your system. There’s no reason you can’t bulk up eating A lot of Mediterranean style food. That’s a healthy diet you can eat a lot of.

1 ReactionHi Blane, Have someone drive you to your treatments and have them stay with you and take notes. Eat all your favorite junk foods. You do not want to lose weight. Don't let any negative BS enter your space. Shut the news off and watch comedies or listen to your music. If you have a pet keep them with you. You may or may not have some side effects, don't worry they'll pass quickly. This treatment is so much easier than chemo or radiation.You'll be happy you did it!!!Good luck, Gene
Pray...... Think Positive..... The odds are in your favor.......You'll do Great!!! I've not felt this GOOD in over 20 years !!! Focus in on why you want to live!!!

1 ReactionHello. I am getting ready to go through this treatment. Amy information and advise is appreciated.
Thank you

Staying on an ARSI can be very important. Xtandi Does cause fatigue for a lot of people, Nubeqa (Darolutamide) On the other hand, doesn’t normally cause fatigue and also doesn’t pass the blood brain barrier so it doesn’t cause brain fog,
You should ask your doctor about getting on Nubeqa, It can be important for a long-term progression free survival.
