Docetaxel vs Abiraterone?
Docetaxel
or Abirateroneb - Any thoughts about which one to do? Study results are similar but treatment duration and side effects are very different.

Chemo treatment of Docetaxel, how to mitigate side effects
I just had some mets in my neck radiated, started ADT and in a couple of weeks will start a 6 cycle treatment of
Docetaxel
every 3 weeks. I am looking for advise and tips to minimize the side effects.

Latest results with initial treatment
(just Casodex) Last week received his first
Docetaxel
infusion, Lupron and Xgeva. WBC=12 WBC dropped to below 1 today. Received Neuopgen. He will probably do more Neupogen the next few days.

He recommended doing a course of
Docetaxel
chemo. That sounded awful. Isn't Zytiga just as good? Lots of discussions back and forth. At time time I was due for my second Lupron shot it looked like my PSA might have stalled at 92 so I went for the chemo. (And stayed on Zytiga) Did 6 rounds.

Anticipating local palliative radiation to neck, and either
docetaxel
or abiraterone. Seen at University of Pennsylvania and 2nd opinion at Memorial Sloan Kettering. May also go to Hopkins or Dana-Farber. Any recommendations on who to see at those centers?

Docetaxel lowering my fathers psa to 7.5. Is it too early to be celebrating?
Hi guys, My father is currently on round 9 of
docetaxel
and his psa went from being in high hundreds to 7.5. My mom is already celebrating. I'm just worried this may not mean much. On round 3 of
docetaxel
my father had a scan of back and his psa has already dropped.

Hi all, new to the site.
Started
Docetaxel
Chemotherapy in February 2018, 10 cycles every 2 weeks. PSA went down to less than 0.2 within 6 cycles and kept going down to 0.07 at the end of the 10 cycles. Did not have any serious side affects during this time.

BioBran and/or beta-glucan
So, soon after starting chemo (
docetaxel
) I took 3 gm a day (used in most of the trials) and am convinced that it reduced the side effects of chemo. Once chemo was finished, I reduced to 1 gm a day. The only down side is that BioBran is expensive, around £10 a day for 3 gm.

Docetaxel and Circulating tumor cells
Currently on Lupron, prednisone,
docetaxel
and neulasta. I seem to be weathering the chemo pretty well and the PSA for what it’s worth has gone down from 51 to 31 after the first round of chemo. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Lupron + Docetaxel w/o Zytiga
His recommendation thus far is: Casodex one week for T-flare, then Lupron and 6 cycles of
Docetaxel
. I would love to hear what everyone thinks about this plan.........What additional questions should I be prepared to ask about this protocol?

Where did I go wrong (or did I)?- first chemo
My first (Taxotere/
Docetaxel
) chemotherapy treatment is over. I want to bring up the "Chemo Crash" that seems to happen on the 3-4 days. It was hell! The best I could do was lay in bed that whole time. Head felt like in a vise, big time flu feeling, aching joints.

Suggestions to prevent Chemotherapy side effects
Casodex began today.......Lupron shot and first cycle of
Docetaxel
next Thursday. So of course, I have more questions.......SORRY! Is there anything we can do to help prevent chemo side effects? I have ordered CRYOMAX cold packs for hands and feet to try to help with neuropathy.

Abiraterone or Docetaxel: Which Is Optimal for Hormone-Sensitive High-Risk Prostate Cancer?
Today at my Med Onc visit I was given the choice of adding either Abiraterone or Doxetaxel to my just initiated androgen-deprivation therapy. They said at this point there is no real definitive studies as to which is superior and either would be an fine. The expense of Abiraterone would be a consideration

Painful joints
Husband has been on
docetaxel
and ADT. His knees have been bothering him for the past four weeks. Does anyone have an effective glucosamine to recommend ? Or some other approach to this problem? Thank you!

Dad's blood results for the whole year
He immediately went on Lupron and then had 6 cycles of
Docetaxel
in November/December 2017 and some radiation on the two significant mets on his spine. He also switched from Lupron to Transdermal Oestradiol (patches) as part of the STAMPEDE study in November 2017.

Chemo #4 update
Had my 4th
docetaxel
, PSA is down to 0.8, (500 at DX on March, 23 prior to treatment start). Here's a history, each taken on the chemo day: 5/1 5/23 6/15 7/6 4.34 1.94 1.13 0.80 I like the absolute number, but drop rate is slowing down. Still minimum chemo side-effects.
