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.

If you read the post/reply above, you will find the explanation that his first Pluvicto series was as a participant in a clinical trial. So for insurance purposes, his current s is his first.
Im happy to hear about your treatments. I would like to know how you got the insurance and supplies to cover the 2nd treatment. I finished my Pluvicto about 11 months ago. The hardest for me was the 3 days in quarantine, and the tiredness- which I was informed to take 10 MG of prednisone for tiredness.
We all must continue to battle this monster in us

3 ReactionsBe aware that it works really well for 33% of people OK for 33% of people and not at all for 33% of people. If you have certain genetic issues, either hereditary or somatic, it can affect how well Pluvicto Works. You can ask for a somatic test before doing Pluvicto To find out if you’ve got Genetic changes Due to the cancer.
If you have BRCA2 or ATM It seems to work better. If you have RB1, PTEN or TP53 They are Pluvicto resistant.
Asking someone else if Pluvicto worked for them gives you no idea about how it could work for you.
Some people have some major side effects from Pluvicto, most don’t. I have heard at least 5 people talk about their experience, In some cases they had to have more time between doses because of the side effects.
I saw a webinar where they discussed a person who lit up the Pet scan With metastasis from head to Legs. He had one Pluvicto Treatment and it almost cleared his pet scan, But his side effects were so bad that he could not take any more treatments

Would this be for metastatic to the bones?
I'm 79 and had stage 4 since 4/2019. After lupron still on and multiple oral rx"s I took achieved non detectable psa for about 4 years. Exhausted all rx's and had chemo for 5weeks. After a month off my psa started rising rapidly and started chemo again. After 3 weeks discontinued chemo and explored pluvicto and have had 2 treatments and will have my third in two weeks. Hopefully psa will decline. Stay tuned for the new results. HappyHag

4 ReactionsDarolutamide (brand name Nubeqa) is an androgen receptor inhibitor used in the treatment of advanced prostate cancer. It works by blocking the effects of androgens (male hormones) that can stimulate the growth and spread of prostate cancer cells. So, so good.
