Painful joints
Husband has been on
docetaxel
and ADT. His knees have been bothering him for the past four weeks. Does anyone have an effective glucosamine to recommend ? Or some other approach to this problem? Thank you!

Dad's blood results for the whole year
He immediately went on Lupron and then had 6 cycles of
Docetaxel
in November/December 2017 and some radiation on the two significant mets on his spine. He also switched from Lupron to Transdermal Oestradiol (patches) as part of the STAMPEDE study in November 2017.

Melatonin - Review.
Combined with chemotherapeutic agents (etoposide, doxorubicin, or
docetaxel
), melatonin (1 mM) enhanced the sensitivity of cancer cells to cytokine-induced apoptosis in vitro [92].

Chemo #4 update
Had my 4th
docetaxel
, PSA is down to 0.8, (500 at DX on March, 23 prior to treatment start). Here's a history, each taken on the chemo day: 5/1 5/23 6/15 7/6 4.34 1.94 1.13 0.80 I like the absolute number, but drop rate is slowing down. Still minimum chemo side-effects.

Treatment update
Treated with Firmagon, Xgeva, Casodex, Prednisone and
Docetaxel
. Fingers still numb and fingernails a mess from the Chemo. When Chemo ended, switched to Lupron and Zytiga. PSA went untetectable before the end of Chemo and has remained that way. Scans look as clean as they can.

Antibiotics and Chemo
I’m on my second round of
docetaxel
. Is their a conscious regarding the use of antibiotics while undergoing chemo? I have a issue separate from PCa that improves with ampicillin. Welcome you thoughts. Dennis

Cyberknife is in my future
I was diagnosed Gleason 10 2.5 years ago and I've been through chemo (
Docetaxel
) ADT (Zoladex implants 3 monthly). Since January I've also been on Enzalutmide/Xtandi as PSA was rising with Zoladex alone, so was declared castration resistant.

Occasional blood in urine
I finished 6 x
docetaxel
about 10 weeks ago. PSA 0.02. Just wondering if anyone has had anything similar?

Second Recurrence now at PSA .5
I am choosing Zytiga because I think it is as effective and has fewer side effects than
Docetaxel
. Seeing my doc on the 19th and would appreciate any thoughts on this plan I have for my next step. Thank you!

PSA cut in half by cancer still spreading?
Hes currently undergoing
docetaxel
. They took his PSA and it went from 170 to 100. He just had an MRI on his back because of a tumor on the spine. The doctor said the bone mets are spreading in the back. Is there a reason the PSA drops but yet the cancer is spreading?

Water retention/ lymphedema-like symptoms after chemo
I finished a 6-infusion program of
docetaxel
about 8 weeks ago and was fortunate not to suffer any particularly unpleasant side effects (no nausea but increasing fatigue). However, about 6 weeks' ago my ankles and calves started swelling.
