Quick update on Docetaxel treatment, had third infusion on Friday. The PSA is down to 1.13 (last one was 1.94 taken just before second chemo). At DX PSA 500 just 4 months ago. Side effects are minimal so far, third day is the hardest it seems: a bit of nausea, weakness and flu-like muscle pains.

Sounds like you are doing great with Docetaxel. 40% drop between treatments will probably drop off as you progress 25% then less till you level out somewhere. Hopefully at undetectable. Looking good for now. Good luck. Side effects can be cumulative.
