Round 7 Cabazitaxel incoming

[GapBandTragic]

Rounds 1 to 3 easy

Round 4 lowered mobility

Round 5 and 6 low days are day 4 to 10

Holiday season in January so looks like I will ask oncologist for a deferral of Round 8 to give me more energy to enjoy a family visit.

PSA now over 500 , still on ADT. LDH over a thousand but hopefully not accelerating.

Best wishes to all of you.

Have you discussed adding carboplatin? It may be especially useful with some genomic changes - if you know that from tumor biopsies.

[GapBandTragic in reply to Tall_Allen]

Thank you Tall Allen. Some patients at my centre are getting Carboplatin

[cesces]

Have you considered lu-177 treatment?

[GapBandTragic in reply to cesces]

Yes I read here from others where good results have been achieved for six months. I have not pursued Lu yet. Nearest centre to me is a half day drive so it is definitely accessible. Price wise I am reluctant. Six months is becoming increasing valuable I suppose.

Best wishes to you. If your PSA isn't responding to the treatment it's time to discuss options (see the suggestions from others who replied to you).

[GapBandTragic]

Thank you tallguy. My blood transfusion experience was challenging.

"PSA now over 500 , still on ADT. LDH over a thousand but hopefully not accelerating."

What is LDH and what is its significance to the treatment and the progression of the prostate cancer?
