My "Vision" LU-177 story..

I too have finished the Vision Trial with 6 infusions spaced 6 weeks apart. At the start, my PSA was 2400 and at the end, 135. It has since climbed back to 685 in just 2 months.. LU-177 is a powerful Beta particle emitter so it comes with some radiation caused side-effects..I was hoping for a longer remission after the treatments stopped but maybe not.....I may try R-223 as a last ditch treatment, I was about to start it before I got into the Vision trial..I'll be 78 this June if the Covid don't get me first ! I have no pain and am still able to function fairly normally..

How did you do with Jevtana? Can you do it again?

Yes, the Jevtana worked pretty good...An option is to combine it with a platinum chemo...But since my cancer has been confined to my bones, maybe I'll try R-223 first...Onco appointment on the 13th, we will talk things over....

I had psma treatment in Germany. My PSA fell to 2.1 then 6 weeks later was 4.9. I read a couple of articles about this bounce phenomena 5 months later I’m back to 2.1 with only bicalumide 50 mg per day... give it time before you panic
