Latest update
A week after his first infusion of
Jevtana
. After reading all of your responses ( thank you all so much ), I asked the Oncologist about adding Carboplatin to his
Jevtana
. He went back and looked at a genetic study done on him at the onset of diagnosis and said that my husband has a ATM mutation.

Update
His oncologist said that the Taxotere was not working and the only thing left he could offer was
Jevtana
. His Last PSA was nearly 1800. Last Friday he started the new chemo. They have put him on 10 mg of steroid daily in addition to the chemo. Since Friday his life has been miserable.

Anyone dealing with Small Cell Carcinoma as their prostate cancer?
Tried
Jevtana
including one cycle with Carboplatin. While my PSA is dropping, my lymph nodes are continuing to increase in size and now I also have a bone met on one of my ribs.

When to consider Keytruda as not working?
Already failed Lupron, Zytiga, and
Jevtana
. Did not tolerate xtandi. Is there any hope left with keytruda? Any alternatives or is this the end?

Lost the Battle
In January he started taxotere for a few rounds, then
Jevtana
and finally cyclophosphamide. He rapidly started to decline on cyclophosphamide. He was accepted into receiving Keytruda but was too weak.

Optimal chemohormonal sequencing for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer MAY be Taxotere->Zytiga->Jevtana->Xtandi
Alternating chemos and hormonals like this seems to be optimal for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Other therapies may be able to be piggybacked so they can be tried sooner. https://pcnrv.blogspot.com/2019/12/optimal-chemohormonal-sequencing-for.html

Would Carboplatin help with liver mets that are not neuroendocrine?
Tried
Jevtana
recently and did not help at all and cancer worsened so it was stopped after 2 cycles. Started keytruda a couple weeks ago since prostate biopsy showed MSI-H. Recently got a liver biopsy that showed prostate adenocarcinoma. He is now jaundiced with bilirubin at 10 and trending up.

How to know when Jevtana is no longer working, is it PSA alone?
My husband's PSA has bounced around while on
jevtana
- 8 cycles now - but just spike 50% over a 2 week period. Have a call out to his onco but would love feedback here. Thank you!

Oncologist gave bad news about the cancer
We were just told that despite two treatments of
jevtana
the liver metastasis has enlarged. My dad got an ultrasound today which was compared to an Axumin scan at the end of July, and the liver spots are much larger some three times as much.

Jevtana and carboplatin combo..where to go after
My dad is now going through combo chemo (
jevtana
and carboplatin). Has anyone else experienced this and if so was it positive? Dad is having a lot of pain and just weak with it. We expected the weakness but not so much the pain.

Help Me Help Dad- Xtandi Fail
I have a friend who is an oncologist and she said
Jevtana
would be her next line of defense. Here is my question (FINALLY, right?) For those of you that perhaps had a similar protocol, what were your options after Xtandi?

Metastatic prostate cancer
They have included syberknife, xytegia, xtandi,taxotere,xofigo,and now cabazitnxel(
jevtana
) with carboplatin. I don’t know if there is anything else that can be done. Is there any one else out there in the same situation and if so what are you doing?

Taxotere and elevated liver tests
The oncologist is going to use
jevtana
because of it. My dad doesn’t have any liver issues before the cancer spread to the liver. The liver tests are ALT 190 AST 140 bilirubin is normal.

Anyone’s PSA go up after Jevtana?
My husband went for his 2nd
Jevtana
infusion today, and his PSA went from 186 to 400 in the 3 weeks since! The doctor said it’s possible that the PSA could be shedding into the bloodstream, hence the jump. Has anyone heard of this? He did go ahead with the 2nd one today.

Very concerned about treatment!
Will have second round of
jevtana
on 8/9/19. Will be scanned two weeks later - 8/23/19. Onco said if chemo not working, he will start Keytruda. I am having a hard time processing all of this... Are we on the right track???... Everything is going so fast!

Memory loss with Lupron and Xtandi
My PSA is up to .99, so might be
Jevtana
in my future, I have been experiencing memory loss lately, struggling for words and difficulty expressing myself, which is very frustrating. There is a history of Alzheimer’s in my family, Mother, her mom, her brother and her sister.

Dad stage 4 prostate cancer
Since then he has had taxotere, casodex, iliguard, zytiga, xtandi, another round of taxotere and getting ready to have second treatment with
jevtana
. Oncologist says this is the last of the drugs unless there’s a clinica trial. Is this really the end?

Cabazitaxel (Jevtana) & fluctuating PSA
New study from Japan [1]. The overall survival of patients with the 'fluctuating' PSA pattern (12%) was significantly better than that of patients with the 'response' (28%) & 'primary resistance' (36%) patterns. Patients should not be discouraged by a PSA increase while on Cabazitaxel. -Patrick https
