Vision Trial or Xtandi ????
After 4 sessions of
Docetaxel
& Carboplatin combo I had to quit. Too many side effects and started a terrible rash all over. That was 4 weeks ago. Dr. appointment today after a MRI and blood test on Monday. Mets are still there and PSA has risen.

In the NCI-sponsored
docetaxel

docetaxel
, and toxicity was low and reversible.

Bitter taste on Zytiga?
What all i have read online shows having a bitter/metallic taste is common on
docetaxel
and other chemo drugs - i cant find anything similar on Zytiga - anyone has any experience on the same? Is it a normal side effect from Zytiga? I would appreciate any help.

Veru-111 Advice
He has castration-resistant prostate cancer with progression despite abiraterone, enzalutamide, and
docetaxel
chemotherapy. About 4 months ago, he began treatment with radium-223, and has received 5 of 6 infusions thus far. His oncologist does not feel he needs to complete the 6th.

Advanced Prostate Cancer - Next Steps
I'm 56 years old and in the late stages of the ongoing battle - had 3 surgeries, radiation, chemotherapy in 2016, castrate resistant, on Lupron for the past 2 years, did Zytiga and Erleada, and about to do a 7th
Docetaxel
"juicing" (sounds so much healthier than infusion).

Update after chemo and a wonderful meetup
Dondee just finished 6rounds of
Docetaxel
chemo and while it has helped in shrinking the lymph nodes (3 left), his bone mets unfortunately increased in number and its now scattered along the ribs, sternum, pelvis and spine 😔. Good thing though, there are still no visceral mets.

Chemo v/s Zytiga ?
Since his PSA is almost 0 and blood work has improved, doctors have given us 2 options of Chemo -
Docetaxel
(every 3 weeks, 6 cycles) and Zytiga (Abiretarone). However my MO strongly advises Chemo first, considering dads age (53 yrs) and widespread mets.

Oral docetaxel
Modra Pharmaceuticals is working on an oral version of
docetaxel
, the main drug used in chemotherapy for prostate and a number of other cancers. A patient will take two pills on one day, wait a week, then do it again, for however many weeks are prescribed. It can be done at home.

PSA down further and starting Docetaxel today
Just started my
docetaxel
today plus zometa and Lucrin ( ADT). Feeling a bit 'hype' after the treatment. Could be the dexamethasone. Managed to get some rest and feeling fine. Oncologist has asked me to stop the Zytiga when I am going thru the
docetaxel
treatment.

Post Chemo Blues
I finished my 6 rounds of
docetaxel
a little over 3 weeks ago and set to have MRI and bone scans tomorrow, but I've been in a funk since the last infusion.

Xtandi while on Chemo is working Well
Began my 3rd round of chemo 3 weeks ago with same combo of
Docetaxel
/Carboplatin as the prior 12 infusions. This time Med Onc suggested we continue Xtandi, which had been used on a rechallenge basis after the prior 2 rounds of chemo, but NEVER during chemo. Results were impressive.

Chemo done after 4 infusions
It's been a rough go on
Docetaxel
and Carboplatin. Ended up in the hospital twice after infusions, pneumonia and then a high fever/rash. Now new rash all over is terrible, so Dr. decided to give me a break after 4 infusions and call it quits for the time being.

Docetaxel treatment update
I thought it would be interesting to share results from my first 5 sessions of chemo and maybe get some thoughts. Cycle 1, 2, 4 and 5 have been mainly low impact from side effects, fatigue is always tough through days 3-7 but after a week the energy comes back. I've hopefully mitigated any neuropathy

Docetaxel without ADT?
It is my understanding that
docetaxel
primarily affects cells with high metabolism. ADT reduces this mitotic activity. It sounds like ADT should not be given with
docetaxel
to increase the kill effect on the cancer cells. Does anyone know anything about this?
