Urinary Urgency
One of the only symptoms he had was urgency, He started treatment with ADT in February and
Docetaxel
in April. My understanding is this should be shrinking the tumors and should in theory make the urgent feeling go away.

New member 3 months into treatment
CT scan showed an enlarged pelvic wall lymph node so the team suggested the hormone,
Docetaxel
and radiotherapy treatment. Had my second chemo yesterday and touch wood the side effects to date have not been as bad as expected, hair loss, tiredness and a few mouth issues such as taste.

Docetaxel cycle 3 chemo: hitting the wall on day 6
It looked like this cycle was going to be easy, I've been walking 2 miles a day everyday so far and other than a mid upset stomach, there have been minimal side effects. That is, until today. My energy level has dropped like a rock overnight. Looks like I'll be chair bound for today at least. I'm guessing

How do you know if chemo is working?
Hi Guys, I've had 4 rounds of
Docetaxel
(Taxotere) and before the last round, I asked the oncologist how we can tell if the chemo is working. She said that we know it's working by my PSA being low and stable (it's at 1.0).

STAMPEDE - Zytiga at ADT initiation.
Previous results from the trial have already changed clinical practice - data released last year has led to
docetaxel
chemotherapy now being part of the standard of care for many men with prostate cancer. More data will come out in subsequent years, because of the innovative design of the trial.

Update "next plan"
Now the new plan is
docetaxel
and ramucirumab this will now be a 4 hour infusion. This will now be harder than carboplatin and alimta. Really scared...... they say I will lose my hair just when it finally came back. Plus a host of other side effects.

Docetaxel 1st cycle week of hell.
It's now a week since my 1st cycle of
Docetaxel
following 3 cycles of FEC, it has been a dreadful week where the treatment has thrown back every side effect possible. I expected it to be tough but it has nearly broken me.

Prednisone helps with Taxotere side effects, but...
I've been taking 10mg of prednisone daily with the Taxotere (
Docetaxel
) chemo. So far, it really seems to help wth side effects but appears to be making my ADT hot flashes worse. And they are already pretty bad to begin with.

Saw a newly diagnosed man's PSA go from 400+ to .61.
Then, per the CHAARTED trial results (favoring earlier rather than later chemo), just had his 1st round of
docetaxel
. His PSA went from 400+ to 12 to .61. An excellent response, so far, to start his journey.

Effective supplements?
I started immediately with triptorelin and first line chemo (
docetaxel
), the last on august 2016. After cabazitaxel remain xtandi and/or zytiga. I’ve een told that immunotherapy isn’t an option for prostate cancer, yet. I’m always looking for something to add to standard therapies.

Advanced Metastatic Prostate Cancer
I started Hormone therapy (Lupron) in August and chemotherapy (
docetaxel
) in October. I am being treated at Massachusetts General Hospital by oncologist Dr. Matthew Smith. After six cycles of chemo, CT scans showed significant reduction in all areas of cancer.
