What a wild Ride! I did docetaxel for 4 cycles starting in June until Sept 1 (second time with this treatment). PSA started to go up in last cycle. So we hit up insurance to see if I could do cabazitaxel and carboplatin. They denied i the combo(much to the chagrin of my MO) but approved Xofigo. Did one infusion Sept 28. Then my MO called and we discussed. Going to do 4 rounds cabazitaxel starting Oct 23 and hold off on Xofigo for now. We are looking at the systemic treatment to reset baseline. I looked at funding carboplatin myself but its $37k that I don't have at the moment (come on lottery!)
After 2 years of treatments I've learned to roll with it and work with my team.
