Newly diagnosed Stage IV Metastatic Prostate Cancer
I am contemplating
Docetaxel
(chemo) and wondering the advantages of that. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Docetaxel
which I started on 7/16/21 with PSA at 20.13 and completed 02/17/22 with PSA at 13.33. I then started Cabazitaxel 5/19/22 with PSA at 63.

Vit B12 extremely high
On Lupron, in between 5th & 6th
docetaxel
chemo. Had to stop abiraterone due to elevated bilirubin & will try restarting after chemo is over. Recently diagnosed with MGUS (Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance) which is unrelated to the prostate.

More Radiation for bone pain?
She thinks it is time for another round of
Docetaxel
. I can also get more radiation but not sure if I should if they start chemo. Just wanting to hear from others who are in this same position and how they are being treated. I do not qualify for the gene mutation related therapy.

Help: Metastasized Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer!
He sounds like he expects to give me
docetaxel
next and then in a year it’s inevitably the Grave for me.I’ve read that you shouldn’t let any doctor tell you how long you have to live. They don’t know.

Life expectancy after docetaxel
I know two men who had some number of
docetaxel
infusions. Both men died. Is
docetaxel
simply a hail mary or does it improve quality of life or longevity? Statistics only please, no opinions. (I am not a chemo candidate at this time but this question has been on my mind a lot.) Thanks

Update, tumor in lymph node
The recommended treatment in the next line is then chemotherapy in the form of
Docetaxel
-21 (event Docetaxel14). No indication to start this now as the patient is clinically stable and PSMA-PET shows admission only in one lymph node.

Thoughts on vacation and PSA
As context, I'm just finishing 12 months ADT+Nubeqa and last fall I finished 6 months
docetaxel
and SBRT to a suspect vertebrae and rib. PSA was 0.8 with 4-month doubling at BCR when I started all the above.

What can I expect from chemo?
I will be starting
Docetaxel
(Taxotere) near the end of the month. PC has become castrate resistant and oncologist says I should not wait for a trial of LU 177 that does not require prior chemo since it is unsure when it will start and has had a few delays already.

The doctors are recommending
Docetaxel
and Hertraz. What are the options for her? My friend has sent her some money, but can't afford to finance her whole course of treatment. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
