He is now on his fourth chemo (cab) which the doctor thinks is not working. He mentioned four options that he thinks

xeloda or nothing?
My most recent scans showed progression. Neither of my oncologists are optimistic. I've exhausted all the IV chemotherapies. Oh, and I'm stage IV TNBC and have been for 11 years. It's been a long road. I thought I'd post to get some feedback. I've chosen not to do Piqray because of side effects. The

Chemo head rash (or maybe NUBEQA)
I don’t see a lot of posts in this form about developing a rash on your scalp after chemo. Looking for any home remedies or OTC products others who’ve experienced this might suggest. My scalp started itching on Friday (day 8 after first docetaxel), then on Saturday a bunch of red bumps appeared

How long after chemotherapy you return to your "normal" pre chemotherapy?
Between March and July 2022 I had six rounds of Docetaxel + Carboplatin and I dont seem to recover ,mainly fatigue. Can not bring myself to some decent level of energy. my pre treatment Karnofsky index was 90-100 , now it is 70-80 😕 I'm also doing Lupron shots and Nubeqa which of course contribute

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. Adding Cisplatin brought his PSA down to 0.890 after another 4 cycles

Reducing docetaxel dose
Hi all, for his third chemo session the onc reduced his dosage by 25% because he was getting severe neuropathy in his left leg. Is this going to be less effective now?

Greetings from Sweden
Hello , I am now writing because apparently my husbands PSA have risen during Adt-treatment. He has had Trelstar injections for 2 years now and PSA in August was zero, but now apparently around 2 checked by his GP. He has an appointment with his specialist in February. He feels fine without any pain

Prostate removal after radiation??
Since diagnosis (2016) I've had chemo (taxotere), 25 radiation sessions on my prostate, along with regular shots of ADT (Eligard). I currently have a PSA of .7 I recently had a PSMA scan, and the only cancer in my body at this point is in the prostate gland itself. The scans were sent to my urologist

Clarification on ALP and LDH markers
I was wondering if anyone can fill me in on Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) changes with second time docetaxel treatment. What do these values help indicate and is it normal to have them higher after one dose of chemo? I figure it takes a while for the chemo to have time to
