Anemia bad

MY PSA rose quickly to 16, after about a year it held fairly steady around one, using Orgovyx and Zytiga, It now has more than tripled in about a month. I think I should try Xtandi, even though I'm quite anemic. At 87 my MO feels I can't handle chemo. I agree. Any thoughts? Poollover

You can get Pluvicto if you can't get chemo.

Our experience with Pluvicto seriously increased the anemia.

Is the cause of anemia determined? Can it be treated?
