Nubequa Failing?

I had a PSMA scan in late Nov 2021. A few bone mets and lymph nodes in abdominal area. I had been on just Eligard for 2 years. And before that Lupron and Casodex since 2011 with some vacation time in between and a year, 2017, in a clinical trial using estrodoil applied by applying to shoulders daily. Worked great for me but trial never published. PSA started going up and in Nov 2021 it was decided I was now castrate resistant. Nubequa was the drug I would go on, but I did not want to start on Nubequa before Christmas due to no knowing side effects. Turned out to be none. Also delayed because I get the drug through the VA but had to go through a process allowing my outside MO to prescribe the drug and have the VA provide it. Started taking drug Jan 1, 2022. PSA was slowly going down but in March I was in the hospital for 12 days and was not able to take Nubeqa. My PSA inched back up a bit. Next PSA was down, and I thought it was working then my next PSA was up slightly. I am still on Eligard 3-month shots. In previous conversations he said we would probably try for LU177 treatment this summer but that looks questionable because of supply problems? I see my MO on Monday and would like to know if there are any specific questions to ask. Thanks

While waiting for Pluvicto, you can discuss Provenge, Xofigo, and docetaxel.
