Docetaxol completed with drop in PSA

I had my last infusion on December 2nd. My oncologist and I decided mutually that I could skip my last one scheduled during the holidays. I have had many side effects from the drug and felt pretty miserable between Labor Day and Christmas. Many side effects have slowly cleared but I am left with some neuropathy and swelling of my legs below my knees. Appetite and activity level have improved.

My MO asked me to wait till February for my next PET scan since the drug lingers. He advised a PSA at 6 weeks which is cause for me to celebrate at 8.5. My small cell component seems to have been quiet but the PET will tell that tale.

Our goal is to get to Pluvicto if I have more bone mets or my tumors are growing again.

A picture says it all. 😀

That is very good news and looks like you will easily make it to Pluvicto.
