What next after Docetaxel...?
On 4/19/23 I was seen by the trial MO to confirm the previous recommendation of 10 sessions of of Docetaxel after the new liquid biopsy confirmed the first one with no mutations. Meanwhile, the PSA has risen to 115 before a kidney issue and to about 350 just before Chemo. On 12/06/2023, after 9 sessions

PSA Numbers and 3rd Round of Docetaxel
Hi all - so first an update. Had 3rd chemo session out of 6 yesterday and at least in my experience things are going really well all things considered. Lost hair on balls first then finally head and facial but elsewhere it is good. No issues with hand or feets. No nausea or fatigue. In fact I had

Trodelvy update
Having super good run with this drug going onto round 10 or 11 - CEA normal and CA15 down another 4% all other liver and general chemistry normal. I wanted to reiterate that the side effects get more manageable too. I believe that results from the San Antonio Conference last week will make this drug

Small cell advanced prostate cancer spread to liver and lungs.
This is a request for a near neighbour and friend of mine, Justin, who lives 2 streets away in the UK. He is appx. 53. Please do not read the history in my profile as that sadly relates to me. Justin was diagnosed with a PSA over 100 and widespread to bones. Justin has burned through the treatments in

Mastectomies
My partner (38) was diagnosed with stage 4 Ovarian cancer in June after many earlier chances of diagnosis. There was also a mass in one of her breasts. She had gene testing and is BRCA 1 positive. She has had 4 doses of chemo, debulking surgery (which went well) and two further doses of chemo. She

My docetaxel experience so far
For those who may be interested, I started docetaxel chemo on 20th October and have just had my 3rd infusion on 8th December. I did moderate fasting the day before for the first infusion but haven't bothered since. I wore iced gloves and socks and munched on ice cubes during the chemo sessions. I've

Please excuse the long post, I’m hoping to pick you lovely ladies brains 💗. I was diagnosed in feb 2020 - hgs stage 3. Surgery and the usual chemo followed and then avastin for maintenance.

Chemo for an 86-year-old with stage 4 PC.
Started all this at 86, stage 4. 3 months on Orgovyx brought PSA from 72 to 1.8; next week I'm adding Zytiga, and if that helps and I can deal with this drug I'm going to press the MO to start me on Chemo. Do you think I'm setting myself up way too much?
