Hello everybody I would like to ask you about my dad! He is 65 years old with metastatic cancer (PCa)at his liver! He underwent chemotherapy (10 rounds of Cabazitaxel) and today was his last one! I would like to know what the next steps,according to your personal experience! He will have scans and everything to see the results of the chemotherapy!His doctor said that he will stop the chemotherapy because the protocol says maximum 10 rounds of Cabazitaxel!My concern is that we found something that it works and we will stop it because we reach the limit of rounds? He responds really well to the treatments with little to no side effects! Thank you in advance! I will appreciate every opinion and advice!

Sure :) You will get good response and also many users will tell you from their experience. checkout my past post as well, I posted my PSMA PET Scan as well.

Most important notes, You will see comments from Tall_Allen and listen to him

Chemo is hard on the body, so it can't be continued indefinitely. There's nothing in his profile, so I can't comment on what he can do that he hasn't done.
