Pluvicto experience and results
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

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
Be 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.

Here are instructions from Mayo that are less intensive than other recommendations
I just dug out the instructions we received at Mayo Rochester from the team that gave my husband Pluvicto. Here they are:
For three days: drink at least eight glasses or water or other non-alcoholic liquid each day.
For one day: use separate bathrooms when possible.
Males should sit while using the toilet to prevent splashing of urine. Clean up spilled urine yourself.
Wipe with damp toilet tissue and flush down the toilet. Flush twice, and close lid if applicable.
Contact with children under 10: For one day, Do not be closer than arms' length for an extended period of time. Contact with pregnant women: For two days, sleep in separate bed from your partner if they are pregnant.
It is safe to share a bed with a person who is not pregnant or under 10 years old
You may travel home by car or plane immediately after treatment.
You may stay in a hotel the night of treatment.
