The Journey continues
Ten months ago after trying Docetaxel, Xtandi and just 2 cycles of
Jevtana
all since 2019, our oncologist said the only thing left to do was a clinical trial. We were referred to another cancer center that was a NCI center as the clinic we were at was not. A clinical trial was begun last August.

Treatment plan update - keep searching for the brass ring
Have decided to continue
Jevtana
/Carbo chemo despite continually rising PSA, as recent scans did not indicate evidence of disease progression. Treatment #9 coming Aug 25. Switched from Prednisone to Dexamethasone. Had Guardant liquid biopsy Aug 12. Expect report in 1 week.

Back to plan B - No longer chasing Lu177
There's still
Jevtana
that we haven't tried. Our MO would rather save that for use after Xofigo. CT scans and bone scans will be scheduled again next week. Just had them in January. Metastatic throughout the entire skeleton but no organ or soft tissue infiltration.

Jevtana plus Carbo number 2 !
It's noon on Tuesday and I'm taking my
Jevtana
and Carbo in Maplewood MN. Premeds were "pushed" due to a temporary saline shortage (broader shortage, or very local I don't know) no big deal, the nurse has to work a little harder, and I got just a little woozy from the Benadryl.

Lu 177 also failed after 6 Cycles. 16 rounds of Chemo (10 Docxetexal and 6 Jevtana) previously failed. What could be next?
Now after 3 years and 16 cycles of Chemotherapy ( 10 Docxetexal and 6 Carboxal (
Jevtana
) ), Hormone therapy. He is still with us. A month ago after 6 cycles of Lu177 his PSA started rising from 32, his current PSA is 77 with cancer infiltrating his Bone Marrow.

Treatment update-continuing on Jevtana/Carbo combo
After having treatment #7, my PSA went up to 42 from 18 after #6 three weeks prior. Treatment #8 was put off. Subsequent CT and Whole Body Bone Scans indicate no progression of disease from those 2 1/2 months prior. My MO has reminded me that we can't just rely on PSA alone, which could indicate cancer

Xtandi for PSMA expression
Husband just finished
Jevtana
/carboplatin 8 cycles. Is on Orgovyx. Has daily hyperbaric oxygen treatments for severe radiation cystitis. By the way, after 12 of 40 treatments, he is much improved after 3 months of misery. Gross hematuria, urgency, frequency and pain have all subsided.

My wonderful Father has left us 🍀
He didn't want to go, he didn't want to give up but the disease burden was too great, his bone marrow had failed, we didn't get to try the last treatment which would have been
jevtana
. He was taken too soon and its not fair, but nothing about cancer is ever fair.

Advice on options for Dad please , Chemo or pain management in hospice 🍀
His primary oncologist said his levels are still very low (Hgb 8.5, platlets 22) he said the only treatment on the table is chemo,
jevtana
. And Dad would need to be an inpatient for 3 weeks for the infusions so they can monitor his levels give infusions, nutrions, mange side effects etc.

PSA continues to rise after 7 rounds Jevtana/Carbo combo
After my 1st round PSA dropped over 90% to 4. From then on it has steadily risen, usually doubling after each round. Now, after 7 rounds, I am up to 41.2. I am not happy, and a little less hopeful. Next step will be to have repeat scans within the next week. If no indication of progression, chemo

Next Move
Guidelines point to docetaxel or
Jevtana
, but still stuck on those neuropathy side effects. I feel that if I see increased neuropathy from the chemo it will be the end of my mobility, as I have gone from cane to rollator since the cancer was diagnosed.

Does Jevtana/carboplatin cross the blood-brain barrier?
With prostate cancer growing in the lungs and liver, too, My question: I was given a choice between starting this new trial and starting
Jevtana
/carboplatin.

Update on Lympreza.
Mid last year I had to stop
Jevtana
as the side effect became unbearable. We did the genetic testing and found I had a very high tumor burden which qualified me for Ketruda. I responded well to Keytruda and my PSA had dropped from 34 to 7 and then slowly ticked up to 46 3 weeks ago.

Neulasta
He has been on Jentava they just now added Carboplatin along with the
Jevtana
to see if this combo works. He had one shot of neulasta quite a while ago and ended up with a fever. For those of you on chemo do you use Neulasta or do you just do the chemo itself?

Worst case scenario?
If they can’t find a trial showing significant promise he would like to do radiation to the hip to relieve the pain and start
Jevtana
. But he warned that the results may not be very good considering how quickly docetaxal had failed. WHAT THE F#€#???!!!!!!!!! 😫

Jevtana/Carbo combo after 6 cycles with PSA trending up
Have had 6 cycles of this combo so far. 3 week cycles. Side effects tolerable. Tomorrow will be #7? After initial treatment PSA dropped from 62 to 4. But, the ongoing trend has been an increase to 18 as of yesterday's most recent blood work, from 9 three weeks earlier and 6 three weeks before that

My Jevtana/Carboplatin results to date. Part Two.
(see above) This result is after my second
Jevtana
/Carbo infusion. I am so grateful to the members of this forum who have advocated for this treatment. It’s because of you that I was started on this combo after 7 previous chemo infusions (3 Docetaxel, 4
Jevtana
) with poor results.
