Adventures with Cabazitaxel

Hey gang,

Was supposed to begin the first of six Cabazitaxel sessions last Friday(the six Taxotere rechallenge failed) , but the pharmacy messed up the mixture and it got moved to today! Looked up the cost, and Kaiser wasted $7800 with that error.

Hoping the switch to Cabazitaxel does the job. Fingers crossed 🤞

MO said, if no PSA drop after two sessions, then may add Carboplatin.

Fasted two days prior. Took 10mg Prednisone, and will do that daily thr chemos. They had me take a Pepcid 40mg and Zyrtec 10mg this morning

Fight on y'all

Randy

Thanks for the update. Your positive attitude always shines through.

Hoping for a drop in PSA so you don't have to go through more chemo.

I too fasted for all my Docetaxel infusions (8) but haven't with the Cabazitaxel/Carboplatin infusions I'm on now. Side effects of Cabazitaxel for me are less taxing than Docetaxel was.

🤞 Good luck brother! ❤️

Good luck to you! IMHO, Cabazitaxel produced less side effects than the Taxotere years ago.
