I have or had stage four prostate cancer in my lungs. PSA at 6.0. Started taking Taxomere and Lupron treatments.. my PSA levels went from 6 to 1 to 0.2. I still have three more treatments to go..

Hope this gives hope to people. The taxomere seems to work fairly well.

Shabear,

Glad to hear that your psa is decreasing! How have you tolerated the taxotere treatments thus far?

Was your prostate cancer only in the lungs? How many nodules and size? Tell us more about your Taxomere treatment. Were you just on Lupron prior? What additional side effects? Where are you being treated? Thanks much for any info.

Not what you're looking for?
