Can I drive myself to/from Docetaxel chemo treatments?
My wife is recovering from Pneumonia and has very little energy. I'm 60 and in good shape, so should I be able to drive myself?

UK Cabazitaxel/Carboplatin availability
Now, with the decision to switch from
Docetaxel
to Cabazataxel, my local hospital has told me that the only way to combine it with Carboplatin, is to pay £1,500 per cycle. This would mean a total cost of £15,000.

PSA still low but cancer progressing
The MO has said I need to stop Xtandi since it isn't working and move on to
Docetaxel
. I had a biopsy today of one of the groin (lymph) lesions which will be tested to check if
Docetaxel
is the right type of chemo to have.

ADT + darolutamide + docetaxel (ARASENS trial) has anyone tried it?
Docetaxel
145mg for each cycle seems a big amount to me even if the MO keeps saying "you are big, young, in shape and you have no other condition" but still...

Interrupted Docetaxel treatment
The reason I am writing this is to get an opinion about the
Docetaxel
treatment. As I mentioned my last one was at March 12th. Should I start up with no.5 as soon as possible or have a break and start from scratch again?

Additional questions about options after Docetaxel
Hi all- First of all, many thanks for the replies to my posting about my brother’s treatment options after
Docetaxel
stops working. I received a lot of helpful information.

Ureteral cytosis
Started Jevtana in August hoping for more moderate side effects and efficacy than I'd had with three prior rounds of
Docetaxel
. First Jevtana round was without carboplatin. Second Jevtana round had carboplatin included.

taxotere and PSA
Three rounds of
docetaxel
until 7/17/23. PSA rose from 4.9 to 5.1. PSMA scan showed decline in bone Mets. Tried a bit of fasting. Just switched to cabitaxel due to seeming failure of
docetaxel
based on PSA rise. Wondering if PSA increase was the result of fasting due to a small weight loss.

New Developments in My Husband's PCA Journey
I am also wondering if radiation is not the most optimal treatment, then why not add a 6 week cycle of
Docetaxel
to the mix of ADT.? This would be considered triplet therapy (Stampede trial).

Anyone treated with enzalutamide +cabazitaxel?
I've had sequentially ADT+abiraterone;
docetaxel
+carboplatin; Pluvicto. PSA never got below 3. Latest CT bone scan shows progression in a few areas. RO will zap the progressing areas locally. MO suggested cabazitaxel (1st choice) or enzalutamide (discouraged because cancer is aggressive).

Question
Was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer with several mets to the bones and a Gleason score of 10. This was in January 2023. I have been on darolutamide and relugolix since then and also 6 rounds of docetaxol. Everything was good until recently with an increase in PSA from non detectable

If it doesn't make you feel bad, is it working?
Background: My husband recently received his fourth
docetaxel
treatment. He has mets to bones and lymph nodes and has had two SBRT sessions to bone and prostate which significantly reduced both pain and node size.

Does triplet Therapy still work if you've failed Enza?
As most posters know the UK doesn't allow for other 'mides' once you've failed Xtandi (as I have done) But I am considering buying Abi from India to add to my Lupron and
Docetaxel
. Has anyone had success with Abi after Xtandi failure? Is the triplet therapy likely to work for me?

Docetaxel SE
Hi Gents I have completed 6 rounds of
Docetaxel
. My results have been great! OSA prior to treatment, 23.6; after 5 rounds, 8.8. I am dealing with the SE. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do for my fingernails? They are breaking very close to the base of the nail.

Nicardipine, a calcium channel blocking blood pressure lowering drug has shown anti prostate cancer properties in preclinical studies
As a combination regimen, nicardipine synergistically enhanced the in vivo efficacy of
docetaxel
against C4-2 xenografts.

Jevtana and carboplatin
I have done 10 rounds of Docetaxol, had a PSMA scan which showed progression in a lymph node ( I only have lymph node disease no bone or organ mets.) I started Jevtana and carboplatin about 9 weeks ago. I have what is described as" PSA surge". When I started my psa was 4.4 now 8.3. Has anyone else

Now my cancer is now under control, my wife no longer wants to be with me.
I went straight on Casodex and 2 years of Eligard shots. 9 rounds of
Docetaxel
, kidney stents and VMAT radiation therapy. Following my last PET scan, no new growth was evident and my PSA has been under 1.0 for the last 18 months.
