For Prostate Cancer "After two treatments, I have very little change in lifestyle. I have some fatigue, yet I am 75 years old. The injection is in the arm, and after three blood pressure readings, which take 1 hour, I walked to the machine that takes pictures of where the Pluvicto has attached itself to the cancerous prostate cells. It takes about half an hour to complete. I have four more Pluvicto treatments to go. I am hoping it works. Make sure your nurse injecting knows if you are taking blood thinners. She will be more careful when taking the needle out, for blood thinners slow the blood clotting in your body. I have not finished all six treatments yet."

Pluvicto (lutetium lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan) for Prostate Cancer "I have now had 3 of 6 cycles of Pluvicto. Subsequent to cycles 1 and 3, I developed a severe UTI for which I was prescribed Cipro. My biggest concern right now, 1 week out from cycle 3, is the radioactivity. I have a Geiger counter, and it shows considerable radioactivity emanating from my body. How safe can this be for me or my family? Additional symptoms being experienced are dry mouth, sore lower abdomen, fatigue, and headache. Despite what we were told when we began the Pluvicto, that it was a fairly easy treatment to tolerate, I have found it much more difficult than expected. On the positive side, my PSA has gone from 9.7 to 4.7 after 2 treatments, and I expect it will be lower still now that I have completed 3 treatments."
