swelling after Pluvicto/radiation

I am currently in between my fourth and fifth Pluvicto treatments. I am getting scans before the fifth to see if things are stable. After my first two treatments, my PSA was not dropping and there was a possible new spot or two on my femur. So the Dr recommended radiation to my whole right femur. Once I started the treatment with radiation, the radiologist also hit the top of my pelvic area and my SI joints as well. Then I had my third Pluvicto treatment and over the next six weeks my PSA dropped considerably from 17.65 to 5.18. While I was getting the radiation, there was some swelling through my thigh, but and I felt much better for about six weeks and the swelling did subside. Over the last couple of weeks the swelling has come back just like it did during radiation. My radiologist does not seem concerned I will discuss with my oncologist next week, but I was wondering, has anybody had an experience of swelling, not just after radiation, but having the swelling come back, possibly caused by the.Pluvicto. My PSA did go up to 6.3 a few weeks ago right about the time I started the swelling and some more soreness. Anyway, any thoughts or advice would be appreciated. Thanks to all.
