Hi Sheryl Thanks for the reply. Been living full time in Thailand for the last 31 years, so no return to the USA for me. Plus at 87 years old and many medical problems, can not fly any more. Actually Pluvicto has been available in Thailand for a few years from Australia and Germany, even though not approved by the US FDA. I know mCRPC patients, who have been treated with Pluvicto, in the private hospital in Bangkok, where I have been receiving cancer, heart and urology therapy for the last 4 yrs, paid for by the VA-FMP directly to the hospital.

Thanks for your reply. Have used ask.va.gov before and not very helpful. I am hoping to contact a Veteran who has personal experience as a patient with this new Metastatic Prostate Cancer drug and uses the VA-FMP for payment of this Therapy.

Are there any Retired Veterans receiving treatment for Metastatic Prostate Cancer, using the recently FDA approved (23 March 2022) 177LU-PSMA-617 (Pluvicto), at a private hospital in Bangkok, that will accept using the VA-FMP for payment of this Therapy? Have been using enzalutamide (Xtandi) for the past few years but it is now letting my PSA rise to fast, according to my Oncology Doctor. The VA-FMP has been paying for all my Metastatic Prostate Cancer (Vietnam 64-65) Therapy, and do not know if they will also accept the new drug Pluvicto. It is rather expensive for one cycle. If so, would you please PM me. Thanks Bob aka coconut
