Update 2: Chemo (docetaxel) + hormonotherapy
Hi everyone, So, last Friday, 9/11, my father did a blood collection and a bone scan (scintigrapgy). In the previous week, he had a CT scan (we still don't know the results). My father had scheduled another appointment with his oncologist for tomorrow. She called him today to communicate that there

Hi, My father had an appointment with the oncologist today after 2 chemotherapy sessions. It cannot be accompanied by due to COVID, they only allow when the person is no longer capable alone. Apparently, we have good news, with a drop in the initial PSA from 48 to 3 (today's analysis). The oncologist

First chemo, just sharing...
Started
docetaxel
plus carboplatin at DFCI in Boston yesterday. I'm told I will be on chemo for the rest of my life which will not be long given the aggressiveness of my cancer. Lucky me. I setup treatment option calls with MD Anderson, Memorial Sloan Kettering, and Johns Hopkins.

Just an update on my Dad, he had is first treatment yesterday and last night his nurse called to let him know his PSA results came in! He went from 618 in May 2020 to 10.5 as of yesterday so we were excited that Hormone treatment is working. He goes for his Pegfilgrastim this afternoon is it inevitable

Will new chemo make lymphoedema worse
I have to start Chemotherapy for a Breast Cancer recurrence and the drug regime is T.C. The Docetaxol (taxotere) part has edema listed as a side effect as well as nerve damage. Has anyone had chemo since developing lymphoedema and did it make it worse? I'm considering asking for other drug options have

14 year journey
The last time it went above 40 I started the
docetaxel
chemotherapy. I have had 5 of those and my 6th will be next week. Still working, bowling, gardening, playing with grandchildren and enjoying life. This has been a rough road but I will keep fighting this disease until the bitter end.

Shout out for my stage 4, post-chemo, Gleason 9 road warrior husband of mine
But this particular dude with a lot of miles on him, a whole lot of treatment, 10
docetaxel
infusions that ended about seven weeks ago, plus Lupron, is out there biking his brains out. I guess I'd better make a blueberry pie, right?

PARP Inhibitors for Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate CancerInterview with Oliver Sartor MD
Nevertheless, the
docetaxel
was an option and a stratification variable in the PROfound study but not a requirement. Moving forward, the rPFS (radiographic progression-free survival) was unequivocally positive as a primary endpoint.

Treatment after chemo - PARP inhibitor or immunotherapy trial?
After completing 7 rounds of
docetaxel
, my PSA went from 32 to 8. Bone scan and CT show no disease progression but no significant decrease either. The majority of my mets are in bone with several suspicious lymph nodes.

Docetaxel vs Zytiga
From what I have read It seems that
Docetaxel
would be a better choice. Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated. FYI, I live in Mexico and cannot access healthcare in USA.. Thanks, Have a Great day

ADT and Docetaxel worked for treating the Prostrate and Pelvic Mets, but 2 out of 3 ain't bad
👏👏) Casodex and Eligard (my ADT) combined with
Docetaxel
(6 shots) worked wonders on the prostrate and bone mets, but the bladdder metastasis is not responding (2 out of 3 ain't bad.... ).

Advanced Prostate with bone mets, new to the site.
He starts
Docetaxel
every 3 weeks for 6 cycles starting this Tuesday. His Oncologist agreed given his health that would be a good start, he also mentioned Erleada but that is always an option after chemo. Would love to hear any input or stories.
