Can anyone share their experience with Pluvicto?

Posted by vcash @vcash, Apr 22, 2024

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.

My husband just celebrated 62-Diagnosed July '24 w Advanced (pelvic,Lymph, spine & scapula) completed 6 chem(completed 12/24), on Nubeqa and harmone injection every 3mos- PSA 1.02 2/25, Scan showed-not lit up in spine but still in Pelvic area
PSA today-1.66- Pain has moved from Pelvic to spine today!
Oncologist visit today-she is concerned- as pain has increased to spine and PSA has increased- she is recommending Pluvicto , and talks about 2-3 years life span..... I am trying to be a strong partner, this is the second cancer we are facing(Tonsil cancer in 2020) I cant stand to see the suffering, Hydrocodone brings some relief-last night he had a brutal nite- this is a nightmare.......

@michelegiger, this must be so hard to see you partner go through not one, but two tough cancers - like you said - a nightmare.

Did you and your husband decide to continue treatment and start Pluvicto? How are YOU doing?

I was a clinical trial patient in original 2021-22 (Norvartis Pharmaceutical PSMA 617 Lu177), now Pluvicto, trial. It worked wonders for me. Eight or so years of other treatments prior to 2021 kicked the problem down the road, but no longer worked. Side effects were much less than chemo and other treatments I've received. If your situation is "to that stage" and you meet the requirements, I recommend it. Stay in touch
