Has anyone received Taxotere chemotherapy after post surgery radiation? My son age 50 was diagnosed last summer with PC tertiary 5 pattern.

First post surgery PSA was 20. PSMA pet showed some invasion to pelvic lymph nodes no where else. Put on Lupron , generic Zytiga and prednisone and given 6 weeks of IMRT. Has to wait 3 months till June for first PSA.

Have read that a follow up to the radiation is now Taxotere or another chemo.

Has anyone has this therapy and what were your results? Did it keep the PC from returning or spreading ?

Thank you so much.
