Prostate Cancer and"Pluvicto".............

[Kian28]

Tomorrow, Monday July 31st, I get my first Pluvicto Infusion and NOT knowing what to expect, I am opening the "Flood Gates" for anyone that has started, or finished this me and would be willing to fill me in on the process.

I have not heard enough info on pets (Dogs), so i am boarding her for seven days. After the first infusion, when can i have lunch with my buddies, sitting in a booth is rather close...............and what about my cleaning lady, should she take precautions??

This is enough to get me started, and i do appreciate the input......(Smile)🙂

Sorry I can't contribute on the Pluvicto issue, just to wish you well. But on that photo you posted, if that is a photo of you in your 80's....I want what you have!

No problem, and thanks for the compliment.....(Smile)

I will have my sixth infusion of pluvicto next week at MD Anderson. Each time I am given instructions when I leave as follows:

after an infusion Dec 13 at 10:30 am

Do not start travel before Dec 13 at 12 pm

Sleep alone over six feet from anyone until dec15 at 9:46 am

Stay away from children and pregnant women until Dec 14 at 12 pm

Limit time with children and pregnant women until Dec 14 at 1:59 pm

Stay six feet away from others until dec13 at 12:34

Do not go to school or work before Dec 13 at 12:34 pm.

As you can see the longest restriction is sleeping with spouse and that’s only two days.

I feel absolutely terrible after the first infusion. Stayed in bed. couldn't eat , pain from my butt up to my chest, dry heaves.......i don't think i will be doing any more Pluvicto !!!!!

I am so sorry to hear this!! My Joe had mild nausea and major fatigue for the first day after each of his 2 infusions. I don’t know that he would have continued, either! That being said, his PSA rose after the first dose, so we sont know if it’s working or not☹️

Did you feel better after a few days? Hoping the side effects got more bearable for you.

Sorry, Kian28….I just read your added posts…Carry on!!

[Kian28 in reply to Cateydid]

My PSA also rose after the first infusion. It was 30ish. 5, and now 42.6. Oncologist said he wasn't concerned. Just needs time to clean up a lot of mess lol

Good luck, mine starts in august.

[Kian28 in reply to Muffin2019]

The way it has made me feel with pain and dry heaves, i will NOT be doing any more Pluvicto.

[Muffin2019 in reply to Kian28]

Did they give you medication for nausea and pain ?

[Kian28 in reply to Muffin2019]

I have been on pills for feeling sick and the dry heaves prier to my six Chemo sessions. Today is Thursday, August 3rd, and i am feeling better, so guess i will quit being a baby, put my big man pants on and continue (Smile)

[Kian28 in reply to Kian28]

Thanks, next time i will board her for three or four days....gets expensive LOL

[Muffin2019 in reply to Kian28]

Glad you are feeling better, keep the faith.

[Kian28 in reply to Muffin2019]

Will be taking a new med, called OLANZapine, 5 mg. The night after 2nd infusion, i will take one at bed time, and follow this pill with one each of the following nights making it a total of 4 pills in four nights. Should take care of the nausea

They don't have specific restrictions for pets. If your worried about them, boarding is a good idea, but I would say only for 2-3 days at the most (same as spouse).
