Help: Metastasized Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer!

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.

Docetaxol completed with drop in PSA
I had my last infusion on December 2nd. My oncologist and I decided mutually that I could skip my last one scheduled during the holidays. I have had many side effects from the drug and felt pretty miserable between Labor Day and Christmas. Many side effects have slowly cleared but I am left with some

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

Questions About Scans and Lymph Node
He competed the 6 rounds of
Docetaxel
in June and in August, his MO ordered an FDG PET Scan to see where things stood. He did not order a PSMA PET at this point either because with my husband's PSA being undetectable, it was not advised. The FDG PET was the alternative I suppose.

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.

Abiraterone/enzalutamide+PARP inhibitor better than abiraterone/enzalutamide alone for mCRPC, even without BRCA+
My guess is that these men will probably also do well with a taxane chemo (
docetaxel
or cabazitaxel)+ carboplatin +abiraterone/enzalutamide. The FDA is expected to approve the combination next month.

Cancer care in the Philippines
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.

PSA bump
I completed my 6th chemo with
docetaxel
on Sept 19. I’m on lupron and started Zytiga but it impacted my liver so I stopped Zytiga for now until my liver gets better. My next lupron injection is next Tuesday Oct 4.

Novartis Pluvicto financial aid? Company insurance so-so self insured crud. Also, do enlarged pelvic lymph nodes still qualify you for it?
Age then, 54 (Born 1961) now going on 62 with still slow progression, but not liking
docetaxel
side effects. Want A vacation with Pluvicto before starting Cazabitaxel, hope I can qualify.

PSA is increasing after 11 cycle of Docetaxel, what should we do now ?
My father has done around 11 cycle of
Docetaxel
, 5 of them was combined with Cisplatin. First 3 cycles of
Docetaxel
alone took his PSA from 7 ng/mL down to 3.680. between cycle 4 to the end of cycle 7 his PSA increased to reach 8.03.

Cabazitaxel update and variations of PSA
Hi all, those who have followed my husband's history will know that
Docetaxel
did not work for him although the MO insisted on 4 infusions. Cabazitaxel was given on 10 Sept (nearest PSA was 468 on 2 Sept in London).

Triplet Regimen vs Clinical Trial (Pluvicto)
The other treatment options is a triplet regimen, which will include the Lupron + anti-androgen + chemotherapy (
docetaxel
). I am 64 and otherwise in good physical shape. I would like to treat this as aggressively as we can, but I’m not sure what is the right choice in this case.
