Cabazitaxel treatment

A shock diagnosis almost seven years ago. Then the merrygoround of surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, hormone treatment and slowly but surely the cancer progresses. Here I am, wondering where to go next and contemplating if chemo with cabazitaxel is the way to go. Does anyone have any experience with this drug?

with thanks,

Luylu

Consider combining Jevtana with carboplatin, as in this trial:

Why no radiopharmaceuticals (Pluvicto or Xofigo) or Provenge?

Thank you, I will investigate if this could be an option for me. Pluvicto is being offered as next line of treatment if cabazitaxel is not effective.

A friend with operable breast cancer tried the alternative cancer treatments including starving the cancer and she now has metastases in bone, liver and lungs. I believe in utilising the advances of modern medicine and supporting those treatments with alternative medicine where deemed possible and appropriate. My friend is suffering the consequences of totally putting her faith in natural healers and not accessing modern western medicine cancer treatment advances. Very sad.
