Progress
Yesterday, I had my 5th chemo with
Docetaxel
and my 4th Firmagon treatment. My PSA has dropped to 0.9 and my AP is 113. I have no pain. I have one more treatment and another set of scans in 3 weeks. So far so good! I will take what I can get.

High Blood Pressure anyone?
I've been on Bicalutamide and Lupron since December 2019, recently completed 9 sessions of
Docetaxel
and today will be my 10th Radio session. At my Nursing check four days ago, I discovered that my BP was 163/100. I have since been monitoring it and has remained around that pressure, even at home.

Our Saga so far...and an observation about quality of care
So onwards we go, hoping that the
docetaxel
will knock back the cancer some and hubby can get to feeling a bit better and find life worth continuing for a while yet.

Metformin may delay PCa progression.
Docetaxel
was permitted for metastatic patients, and external beam radiation therapy was used for localized and regional disease. Results: ‘Dramatic’ but not ‘definitive’ At a median follow-up of 18 months, there was a significant difference in time to castration-resistant prostate cancer.

My husband's experience with Xtandi
After two months of this with continued rising PSA we met with the oncologist who said that it another round of
docetaxel
was in order. Husband told the doc about the fatigue and asked if he could discontinue the Xtandi before starting chemo.

Effects after Docetaxel, Eligard, and Neulasta treatment.
Treatment included a round of
Docetaxel
and a shot of eligard. He did great for 24 hours after chemo. He then has the shot of Neulasta around 24 hours after leaving hospital (Friday 08/21 around 7 PM).

6 or 8 rounds of chemo
Hi all, My dad has completed 6 rounds of chemo (
docetaxel
) and his PSA reduced to 0.3 and the prostate size is 27x26x29. Today is 3 weeks after his 6th chemo round, he came to meet his doctor and she suggested him to consider to take 2 more rounds of chemo.

Next steps with high PSA during Jevtana
I was diagnosed in May of 2016 and have been pretty aggressive in my treatments:
Docetaxel
, Lupron, Xtandi, clinical trials at NIH and Sarah Cannon, so I am willing to do the next right thing. Thanks, Tom

Dad - 36 Months from dx, still not castrate resistant
We are in the UK and he was diagnosed in July/Aug 2017, had 6 rounds of
docetaxel
in the Autumn of 2017 and has been on the STAMPEDE PATCH trial for a couple of years (where he applies transdermal oestradiol patches rather than ADT injections).

Hopefully silly questions
Had
Docetaxel
followed by 42 sessions of radiation. Started Zytiga as soon as Chemo was done, so we hit it hard. Have had undetectable PSA for two years and an ADT vacation for the last year. Living with noticeable side effects from the radiation, but the operative term for me is living.

Advice for carers
Mum is starting on third line
Docetaxel
. She has the cough, on steroids for it, but otherwise still looking seemingly ok, albeit a little more tired which could be due to the cough. She still gets out for walks, looks after my 1 year old, he’s a handful!

After chemo and zytiga
My husband has had chemo
docetaxel
in 2017. He was in a clinical trial that offered ODM along with the chemo. Unfortunately he was given the placebo instead of the ODM. He has now had a good 20 month on zytiga and it may be failing. Psa slowly creeping up to 7.30.

Adding carboplatin to chemotherapy for mCRPC in post-second generation hormone therapy setting: Impact on response and survival
plus carboplatin when compared to
docetaxel
alone or cabazitaxel alone.

Post HOLAP Peeing Problems
I was open to the idea of
Docetaxel
, but urologist recommended Zytiga on basis of quality of life issues. $o I $tarted Zytiga in addition to Lupron. More on that in future post. Urologist also suggested HOLAP reduction of prostate which I had in first week of July.

Starting Chemo & Immunotherapy this week
My husband, Stevana on this site, finally has a date to start chemotherapy (
Docetaxel
) along with immunotherapy (Opdivo/Nivolumab) on August 13th. He was diagnosed on March 26, 2020. Because of extensive bone metastasis and lymph node involvement, he was not a candidate for surgery or radiation.
