Completed 6 Pluvitco Injections. Oncologist moves me to Lynparza.

Posted by soflada @soflada, Nov 6 10:37am

I've posted previously about moving from Taxotere to various spot/targeted radiations and finally on to Pluvitco. Pluvitco worked for a while and then stopped but even before completing the final injection, the oncologist, coordinating with the radiologist, prescribed Lynparza for me. If you've had this progression of treatments, can you provide an overview of your experience and what I may encounter on this journey. Many thanks in advance for all who can help me moving on.

I didn’t realize you completed your treatment. What did your scan show after.

@jxj
That’s another one of those things where everyone is different. For some people, positive Pluvicto Results last less than a year for others they last for a few years. There’s no way to know how it will work for you.

You need to realize that it works really well for 1/3 of people OK for 1/3 of people and not at all for 1/3 of people.

Pluvicto genetic issues. Somatic or heditary testing should be done.
RB1, PTen, TP53 are Pluvicto resistant
ATM & BRCA work better with Pluvicto
