Hi All, I’m been quiet on here for a while but feeling pretty wobbly and know you’ve all been a huge support before, so I’m hoping you can help me now… My husband was diagnosed with stage 4b PC last January 2025 with a PSA of 186. He had a really good response to triplet therapy initially and PSA got down to 0.03 in October but it’s been slowly rising. He’s had PSMA scans and initially there we just 2 small spots so those were zapped, but now it’s showing the early stages of being castrate resistant. His PSA is now up to 5.9 (results just came in) His oncologist has recommended starting Lutetium 177 soon and we are fortunate that we have private medical that will hopefully cover this. But emotionally and logistically its going to be hard - we have 2 young children (including one age 3) and my husband will need to move out and isolate from them for a week (as we’ve decided it’s too hard to explain no cuddles). I’m hoping for some success stories of people who have been in a similar situation and Lutetium 177 has brought it back under control. We’re trying to stay positive but it is really hard…
