Experiences with

Chemotherapy

Anyway, my question is:Docetaxel is classified as one of the most toxic chemotherapy treatments available. I also know there's no telling how each individual will react. Could you guys share your experience with this medication?. Thanks in advance. Galo.

I have been on chemotherapy treatment for 6 months now and have been eating so much better than before my treatment so I feel it has done me some good. If there is anyone who has the same condition can you please tell me what happens after chemotherapy treatment. Many thanks Andy L.

Here's a link to a pdf of it, "Chemotherapy and You" on website www.cancer.gov. Published by the National Cancer Institute. Link to pdf https://www.cancer.gov/publications/patient-education/chemotherapy-and-you.pdf Being sick during Christmas sucks, Hang in there with me!

Hello everyone, During initial treatments my father was given docetaxel chemotherapy, but within minutes of infusion he experienced a severe reaction and fainted. Since then, he has been on hormone therapy and oral drugs like Nubeqa and Zytiga.

Previously approved in combination with chemotherapy for untreated extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC), Imfinzi (durvalumab) is an immunotherapy medication that blocks the PD-L1 protein on cancer cells.

will be needed a stem cell transplant after my third round for Flagida Chemotherapy. Has anyone had similar?

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

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

Started Chemotherapy again after Avastin didn’t work as maintenance. Disappointing especially as Olaparib also didn’t work for me in 2023. After being mostly bald for the past two years (was told Caelyx wouldn’t lose my hair!).

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

The PC had already spread to spine and radiation and chemotherapy along with ADT (firmagon and Nubeqa) seem to have put it in a sort of remission. My PSA has been undetectable for 15 months. Just after chemotherapy I had a genetic test which came back positive for the BRCA2 mutation.

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.

Docetaxel is a common chemotherapy treatment for prostate cancer, but patients eventually develop resistance to it. The study found that combining docetaxel with mifepristone significantly reduced cancer cell viability.

Last week (2 days before Thanksgiving) I had a lobectomy turned thorocotomy (lungs were "sticky" from chemotherapy resulting in thoracic artery "injury"). Looking for information on recovery recommendations/tips for getting back to as normal as possible.

In a patient who has taken carboplatin and it has not worked at all, does it make sense to try olaparib (lymparza) or is it better not to because if the platinum-based chemotherapy has failed, the parp inhibitor will surely fail too?

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 .

Hello, I am about to start chemotherapy, they at the hospital want to place a portal on me. I am debating and don't know if it is strictly necessary to get one or not. Your input is greatly appreciated.
