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.

Hyper thermic exposure to improve chemo activity
Three years on chemo, first
Docetaxel
then to Jevtana . Now back to
Docetaxel
on a weekly cycle. Found some info on hyperthermic treatments to make the chemo active on the tumor sites ie. hot tub or sauna after chemo to get more blood flowing. Any comments?

Foods/Supplements-Vitamins: Cruciferous Phytochemicals - [4] Phenethyl isothiocyanate [PEITC]
The PEITC-
Docetaxel
combination was markedly more efficacious against PC-3 xenograft in vivo compared with PEITC or
Docetaxel
alone.

Aged 49, newly diagnosed, - An Update
So far, I’ve had two rounds of
Docetaxel
chemotherapy and I have 4 left, which should be finished by June. After that who knows. I have reached out to Dr Steve Tucker in Singapore, who used to work with Dr Leibowitz and his team at Compassionate Oncology in LA.

Docetaxel failed
After 4 infusions of
docetaxel
, complemented by prednisone and monthly degarelix the scans show increased Timor size and quantity in lungs and liver. The oncologist cancelled tomorrow's chemo and I'm going for biopsy. Is there anyone out there with similar experience?

Taxotere Nanoparticle Trial
I will probably recommend a course of some combination of
Docetaxel
(I was already taking it in nano form), Cabazitaxel, and Carboplatin. I am deliberately not going to Zytiga or Xtandi, since those would make me ineligible for MDA's DYNAMO trial.

Radiotherapy; taste buds
Hello all, I really hope today's sunshine is giving everyone's spirits a lift! I'm inspired to go for a longer walk today. My question for today is this. I will receive radiotherapy soon. As I had lymph node involvement does the radiotherapy beam actually go round corners to include under my armpit?

Post about Eric's Passing & Offer to Help
Now mCRPCa or how Eric preferred, APC. 2 rounds of
Docetaxel
and Carboplatin; ended up in ICU, coma for 9 days shortly after (ARDS, sepsis, pneumonia). Stopped chemo. Levels all good. Cancer seems to be on hold. Xgeva failed (side effects), switched to Zytiga.

Most up to date information
I'm surprised that 2 drugs ( HT and
docetaxel
) both developed over 60 years ago is still the best option for my husband. Is there nothing more cutting edge?
