Docetaxel

[JolleySprings]

After 7 years of various treatments including RP, Radiation and ADT My husband has begun Chemo (Docetaxel) His first infusion was at a reduced dosage and after the first reduced dose infusion his PSA went from 47 to 32.

After his Second infusion his PSA went from 32 to 18.

My question is, is it possible after chemo that cancer can go into remission?

He also remains on Lupron.

Anyone have any experience with long term success after Docetaxel?

Thanks for any responses!

What's the reduce dosage ?

ask doctor if he can take Xtandi

Optimal chemohormonal sequencing for mCRPC MAY be Taxotere->Zytiga->Pluvicto/Jevtana/Xtandi with chemo

My husband had chemo (Docetaxel/Taxotere) as a first treatment along with lupron in 2017 at diagnosis. After chemo he has stayed on lupron and added zytiga. He's been on that combo for 7 years. Gleason 9 mets to bones at diagnosis. He's had a couple of spot radiation treatments but otherwise is doing well.

After recurrence I had a total of 5 infusions of docetaxel 3 weeks apart. My psa went from 5.5 to 0.09 and has remained there for 6 months so far. 1 spot on rib but over 15 mets in lymph nodes above and below diaphragm. I pray it will remain silent where it is now.

Hello-I am the wife and I'm sad to say my husband passed away 6 months ago. He was only able to handle two rounds of chemo. He battled prostate cancer for 15 years and overall had a great life up until the last four months. Once the cancer spread to his bones, things went south pretty fast. Best to luck to you.
