Does Pluvicto work? What's the prognosis?

Posted by cal77 @cal77, Mar 6 10:03am

Hi,

Docetaxel doesn't seem to be working..My husband's PSA is up now to 500!! He's had 2 treatments of Docetaxel so far, but they are only giving him 1/3 dose, because he had a tumor removed at his spinal cord at T4 in November and is trying to get mobile now.

So, does Pluvicto work? Is it as good as Docetaxel? What is the prognosis with Pluvicto? This is all so scary.

Husband who is overall healthy and fit is commending pluvicto after 6 years of various therapies - I'm curious about the experience, outcomes and follow-up of other pluvicto participants

My friend at 82 years old had Pluvicto and said it’s the best he’s felt in 4 years. He does have to stay isolated for a week after getting his treatment because of the radioactivity. Best wishes.
