Experiences with

Chemotherapy

I have been on hydroxyurea for 7 years. I now have to have 5 weeks of chemo radiography for another condition which means stopping the hydroxy for 8 weeks. My haematologist has taken a sabbatical and I am awaiting the views of his replacement who I do not Know. I have choices of the radiation or a major

Does anyone know if there’s a steroid that they can substitute for Pednisone during Docetaxel chemotherapy?

So, can we take Enzalutamide for this period before chemotherapy , will it ease the pain and held up the progression ? Thanks all for your kind reply.

Hii all , My father is failing ADT and next step is to start chemotherapy . I have discussed the case with APAC Biotech Gurugram regarding Immunotherapy .

But until I can get in to that trial the doctors are really pushing me to start chemotherapy. But I think it will not handle chemotherapy well and I know that Lutetium-177 works way better without chemotherapy.

Hi, I'm about to start gemcarbo chemotherapy next week, has anyone else had this and how bad were the side effects? Thanks

I heard somewhere that drugs such as Aberaterone and Xtandi can sometimes start working again following chemotherapy. Is anyone familiar with this?

I have had prostate cancer since 2017. First I had radiation and then Lupron for three years. When my PSA started to rise I took abiraterone and Lupron for 3 more years and was undetectable. It started to rise again to 1.78. Then I was put on Xtandi but after a week I developed a full body rash. When

I have had 3 infusions of immunotherapy and chemotherapy. The tumour has shrunk 60/70% I have a choice. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy for 30 days. Removal of left lung. Both have risks.

If only somebody had told me about icing hands and feet before I had my chemotherapy, I might not be posting this. However, it is what it is.

just started a course of sorafenIb. 2 x 200mg tabs once a day. Any comments or side effects to report. All the best.

Chemotherapy 6 sessions and now on Nubequ. PSA was 147, now 2.4

My husband has completed two years of chemotherapy, followed by Pluvicto. Would it be possible to re-start an anti-androgen ( Zytiga, daralutimide) as therapy? What choices does he have going forward?

I asked her “would treatment mean chemotherapy” and she said no, it would probably be some kind of antibody IV injections and pills. Since I’ve heard people on this site talk about chemotherapy as well as other therapies, what makes a hematologist recommend chemotherapy over other treatment?

Now they have suggested chemotherapy with Docetaxel + Celendronic Acid. The hospital contacted him yesterday to find out if we are interested in my father entering the Phase 3 trial of the drug MK5684 or ODM 208. This treatment would replace chemotherapy.

Any advice for handling the chemotherapy, side effects etc? She is in the UK. Thank you for any help you can give.

Often I read that when someone is discovered with an organ Met like liver etc , they start on chemotherapy too. Do ADT and ARPI also work on organ mets or only bone mets ? Good day to all. Wednesday morning here in India !

I had my first immunotherapy and chemotherapy a while ago, on my second chemotherapy I had a reaction so the treatment was stopped. Has this happened to anyone else and do you still receive the missed treatment later down the line, thanks
