Final Pluvicto shot and things OK

[Miccoman]

I just had my 6th, and final, injection. Feeling well but everyone concerned with kidney function dropping -- hopefully transient and not an on-going trend, on the plus side this is the last time it has to deal with all that radioactive liquid. Chugging water and peeing like a champ!

I will do another blood draw on April 11 so we'll see if my PSA drops further and what the kidney function looks like.

Congratulations!! I hope your PSA drops more and your results are positive!

looks good, serious downward trend. hope it continues. after three pluvicto oncologist decided to switch me to targeted radiation. PSA did not drop as consistently as yours and they still called it "effective" so yours must be even more so. congrats ! good luck with the kidneys great that you drank all that water to get the stuff out of your kidneys. you did a great job. my guess is that the kidneys will be OK 6 doses is sure to have some temporary effect.

sorry Pluvicto didn’t work well @spencoid2. hopefully, the targeted radiation proves more effective. was the decision primarily influenced by the lack of PSA drop? How did your CT scans reflect disease progression?

Good response-DH’s PSA continued to drop for four months after Pluvicto. He was still getting 3 month Lupron shots, but no other treatment as dr. wanted to give his body recovery time. Best of wishes to you.

I would still be on Lupron if I had not had an orchiectomy. I think a big part of my improved mental health is being off Lupron.

A high of 106 to a low of 12.3. Nothing to piss about......

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
