He started hormone therapy in October and Chemotherapy for 6 cycles in November and started to use Nubeqa around December. After 4 cycles of chemotherapy he had a scan for his lungs and it was all clear. But his PSA just dropped to 1.2 and was going up and down all these months.

I am getting carbo/taxol and my CA125 is 114. After 6 cycles the doctor wants to start avastin as maintenance. I am afraid that stopping the chemo and having only avastin won't keep the CA 125 down.

The course of treatment they are suggesting is a month in hospital on aggressive chemotherapy. I was wondering if anyone else has been in a similar situation and can give me their thoughts and/or experiences of this process.Many thanks George

Background: Chemotherapy is the treatment of disease using chemical substances, commonly used to treat cancer. Chemotherapy is often toxic to normal cells and two common risks relate to kidney and liver damage.

I am into another round of chemotherapy, docetaxel and Carboplatin and would love to have minimal addition to the discomfort I already endure.
