Experiences with

Docetaxel

Anyone have any experience of this?

If he's progressing after docetaxel what are the chances cabazitaxel will help? He's really reluctant to do more chemo as he has a lot of nausea and vomiting. Anyone here had success with cabazitaxel after failure of docetaxel?

I have had 2 docetaxel infusions so far with 3rd infusion scheduled this Thursday. Psa has increased from 120 to 174 and alk phos has increased from 590 to 617 since last infusion. Should I even go for 3rd infusion since docetaxel seems to be ineffective ?

I have stage 4 had chemo docetaxel bicudimate and then xtandi which quit working cancer spreading more and more in bones will be starting more docetaxel for four weeks once every two wks at reduced dose thsn first done 1 1/2 ago and then will get LU-177 added to the mix 24 weeks regimen for about 8

How long can someone live after hormone therapy stops working and can he do multiple sessions of Docetaxel with breaks in between or is this it after these 4?

just found out that I have inflammation and scarring on my right lung , have had 9 treatments with Docetaxel and that is 98 percent confirmed to be the culprit , anyone else experiencing of have experienced this side effect ???.....

We’ve done Docetaxel (3 rounds, stopped due to pulmonary edema and PCP pneumonia), Zytiga, Xtandi, Xofigo, and Lynparza . Dr would like him to try Cabazitaxel but husband is not sure given his bad experience with Docetaxel. Dr also considering provenge.

Now I am to have Docetaxel and Ninedanib Has anybody any stories to tell of this combination?

Good morning Warriors: I had my first Docetaxel infusion 3 weeks ago. I had a bad reaction and was put in hospital for 5 days because of a low white blood cell count - 5 - and low sodium count of 119.

zoledronic acid injection since Aug 2019 later which become quaterly after docetaxel).

MD Anderson recommends docetaxel and ADT with primary site radiation after. I see there's some data of maintaining better control with early chemo, but wanted to know if anyone else has experienced it. My urologist recommended ADT and IMRT to all sites.

Blood work results prior to my 8th docetaxel injection this week were very good , PSA dropped again from 5.54 to 3.48 , shortness of breath is increasing so a check of the lungs is in order and a check of the old ticker , but feeling pretty good all things considered......

The standard of care for men with mCRPCa after progressing following taxotere chemo and abiraterone is to hit it again with another round of another chemo such as docetaxel. (See Tall_Allen’s posts on this sequencing.). After that, well, our options start to be limited per NCCN guidelines.

I just finished my 6th docetaxel course of 10 (yeah, they do get a bit rougher as it goes on) and got CT scans today. MO's were curious as my PSA has simply been fluctuating around 50 during the chemo (+-10).

I will be starting chemotherapy (docetaxel) soon. The order was for chemo + prednisone. When I asked the Oncologist about the prednisone, he seemed confused and said ,"oh that is added to the chemo IV". I thought it would be in a pill form. Can anybody help me on this one?

Abiraterone didn't work; having good luck with Docetaxel. Have metastases in lymph nodes; bones clear so far. Docetaxel has run its course. Anti-receptor is next. MO wants old standby, Enzalutamide. But I've read highly complimentary stuff about new AR, Darolutamide.

Met with Oncologist today-DORA trial-Phase III of Docetaxel vs Docetaxel & Radium 223. The downfall of the trial is we won't know until we are in the trial if my husband will be selected for the Docetaxel & Radium 223 or only Docetaxel. ( He is having Back/Bone pain.)

Well, I am now through 3 infusions of Docetaxel. Glad all of you strongly recommended it for me. First 7 days awful, next 7 days not too bad and the last 7 days almost normal. Interim numbers are going down - PSA 15.5 to 2.7 and ALP 235 to 125. Three more sessions to go.

Suggested for Chemo Docetaxel 75mg/m2 3 weekly 6 cycle 2D Echo LVEF 50%-55% The cardiologist said moderate-high cardiac risk and avoid cardiotoxic agents My father is scared of Chemo Want to know the risk related to Docetaxel and what is the ideal combination.
