On lupron since 2011, recurrance, SPLASH TRIAL, Provenge NOv 2023. Strarted on Taxatere (doxcetel) in March. My MO put me on an 18 infusion schedule (I believe 1/2 normal dose) because of my age, 84. I get infused ever week for 3 weeks, then 1 week off and continue for 28 infusions. I have had 6 infusions so far. My main complaint is i am very weak. My legs are weak, cant go for walks, and it seems to affect my balance. I am trying to get physical therapy. I there anything they cn give me to help this?

Unfortunately those symptoms come with age (call them birthday presents)......I'm 87 years old and have had them for a couple of years.

Thanks John. Always trying to figure out what's age related and treatment related.
Thank you, but do you mean age or yearly sex encounters?
