Third chemo - PSA keeps dropping
Quick update on
Docetaxel
treatment, had third infusion on Friday. The PSA is down to 1.13 (last one was 1.94 taken just before second chemo). At DX PSA 500 just 4 months ago. Side effects are minimal so far, third day is the hardest it seems: a bit of nausea, weakness and flu-like muscle pains.

Concerned Wife
He's Gleason 7 4+3 and has done radiation to his upper spine (cancer gone), he's getting Firmagon and finished his 4th round of Chemo (
Docetaxel
) . His PSA at diagnosis in March 2018 was 1900 it is now 108. I fear his PSA is not coming down fast enough.

I was diagnosed in Feb 2018 and am on Firmagon monthly injections and have so far done 5 cycles of
Docetaxel
. One more to go in mid July. PSA has dropped from 168 to 0.8, testosterone is undetectable, liver enzymes are all in normal range. But my thoughts now turn to what should happen after chemo.

Anyone have docetaxel and radiation together?
My father just finished 2nd round
docetaxel
and 9th radiation. Hes very sick had a blood transfusion,low iron,low sodium. I was wondering if anyone had a similar reaction? I was looking online and it said the two can interact. The doctor never mentioned this to us.

LU 177 - protocol in London
He has failed 1st line hormone therapy and had
docetaxel
. He now has a rising PSA on enzalutamide. He is stage 4 with mets. We have an appt with his oncologist, Dr Khoo, this Thursday. Any advice on the process would be gratefully received. And anything else I need to think about. Thanks Siohban

Docetaxel & Nintedanib for Non Small Cell Lung Cancer with Mets to the bones
From next week he will go back onto chemotherapy (
Docetaxel
) along with a targeted therapy in tablet form called Nintedanib. By all accounts it would appear this new regime is quite brutal.

Activity and Safety of Enzalutamide in Patients with mCRPC Previously Treated with Abiraterone Acetate Plus Prednisone for ≥24 weeks.
In another small, prospective study of 24 patients with mCRPC who were treated with enzalutamide after progression with
docetaxel
and abiraterone postchemotherapy, PSA response of ≥50% was 17% and median OS was 4.8 mo [22].

Call it stable or call it NED...whatever, I’ll take it!
Last April, after progression on Carbo/Alimta and Alimta maintenance, I started
Docetaxel
(Taxotere) and Ramucirumab (Cyramza) as second line and I’ve been stable since last August.

Why Metastatic PC is Not Curable
[/i]
[i]That means that there will always be some cells that don't rely on androgen-receptor activation, some that don't express PSA or PSMA, and some that aren't killed by microtubule stabilization (
).

Problems with eating and taste
Hi everyone, I’ve just finished my last chemo a week ago having had 3 FEC and 3
docetaxel
with trastuzamab and Pertuzumab and am really now struggling with my food. I’ve dropped 7lbs in the past week and I’m runnng out of foods to try because everything just tastes repulsive.

He had
docetaxel

Zytiga followed by Docetaxel followed by Zytiga again?
Since then I have had 6 doses of
Docetaxel
-- one every 3 weeks -- my last treatment was this last week. My PSA stayed about the same on
Docetaxel
.

Have you repeated chemo so far in your journey?
Through an approval letter from my insurance company stating I was approved to repeat
docetaxel
. My MO is a step ahead of me in my knowledge of his request and I'm sure he will bring it up at our appt on May 30.
