I completed six Pluvicto treatments in December 2023 and returned to Mayo in Rochester on January 31, 2024 for a Choline Pet scan to see if it would reveal any non-PSMA PCa. My doctor reviewed the report and scans and informed me that my cancer appears to be in complete remission.
The findings of the report follow: ”PROSTATE: There is again mild choline activity seen in the small prostate. No abnormal PSMA uptake however is seen to indicate tumor recurrence. LYMPH NODES: No abnormal choline uptake is seen to indicate pelvic node, abdominal nodes, thoracic nodes, or cervical node metastasis. OSSEOUS DISEASE: No abnormal choline uptake is seen within the bones to indicate bone metastasis. No change from the previous scan. OTHER METASTATIC DISEASE: None.” My PSA continues to be undetectable.
I will return to Mayo every three months and alternate PSMA and Choline scans. We will take action as needed (could be targeted radiation, for example) when my PCa reappears. I will continue, for now, Lupron and Nubeqa. Since Pluvicto appeared to be my last and best hope to push my PCa back, I feel extremely grateful about these results.
