Castrate Resistant
He did 6 cycles of
Docetaxel
last Summer. If his PSA starts to rise on Casodex and Lupron does that mean his PC would be considered castrate resistant? Thanks for the info.

An update post chemo
I have had two injections of Eligard (2 x 3 month cycles), and completed a full cycle of chemo (
Docetaxel
). At the time of diagnosis, cancer had escaped the capsule and is in two lymph glands. No bone mets. In my latest blood test, the PSA was down to 1.4.

Advice Needed Urgently
Chemo would be Ketoconazole and Doxorubicin for weeks 1, 3, and 5 and Estramustine and
Docetaxel
for weeks 2, 4, and 6. No treatments during weeks 7 and 8. Not sure if radiotherapy is included or not. There is my conundrum. I'm at a fork in the road and I don't know which way to go.

Something I stumbled across on Medscape. Old news. Might be worth reposting for newer members.
Study Details In the study, 719 of the original 790 patients were eligible for the new subanalysis; 358 were treated with ADT plus
docetaxel
and 361 with ADT alone.

Effect of statin use remained borderline after adjusting (n = 279, hazard ratio = 0.78, 95% CI = 0.59-1.04, p = 0.087) for age, prior prostatectomy, radiation,
Docetaxel

Adding PARP inhibitor (Olaparib) to the Standard Therapy (Zytiga/ADT/Prenosone)
He admitted they are real risks, but pointed out that they had the same concerns with adding
docetaxel
and abiraterone in STAMPEDE and LATITUDE trials which were proven wrong. PARP inhibitors are also "generally" well tolerated.

Radiation with Chemo
I'm on lupron,
docetaxel
and casodex. Start my third chemo next Tuesday. Started to get bone pain in my right scapular and asked the oncologist about radiation to deal with that. He said radiation shouldn't be used with some varieties of chemo. Does anyone know why this would be?

Has anyone had Jevtana (cabazitaxel) + carboplatin
I think icing the hands and feet as we did for
Docetaxel
plus artificial tears will be on our program. Will probably also add L-glutamine . All this to help avoid neuropathy.

Joint Pain
My husband finished 6 cycles of
docetaxel
in June 2017, and is now on monthly firmagon, monthly xgeva and daily casodex. He has suffered from joint pain since the end of the chemo, starting in his feet, but now in his fingers, elbows and knees.

thoughts from a newby
Only found this site recently (and started
docetaxel
2 days ago). Much helpful info, well organised, with useful links. My only thought for improvement is that the abbreviations and nomenclature is confusing for a beginner. Names of medecines vary from country to country.
