What's my next plan of attack?
He brought up trying
jevtana
chemo infusions,but I thought I heard on this site that most likely it would not work if taxotere didn't. Got results from last scans today and doctors said had a couple of new spots on my ribs but were small. Places on spine were improved.

How many cycles of jevtana are commonly necessary before PSA reduction?
Now I am on
Jevtana
-- 10 cycles (one every 3 weeks) are planned. I have had 2 cycles up to this point. After each of the 2 cycles, my PSA increased. Just wondering if this is fairly common at this point or if it is unusual.

Jevtana (cabazitaxel) treatment..
Have any of you recently undergone this rather aggressive chemotherapy and if so, how did it go ? How would you rate the side effects compared to other treatments you have tried ? Was the improvement in your condition worth enduring the side effects ?

I am stage 4, 5+ years post-prostatectomy, have tried most everything, including taxotere and
jevtana
. PSA at 249 now, had got down to 40 from a previous high of 312. (Was <5 at time of surgery.) Bone pain under control with plenty of methadone & dilaudid. Thanks in advance!

Xtandi - Please help
He had Casodex, Lucrin, Zytiga, prostatetomy, radiation therapy, orchietomy, chemo (Taxotere, Taxotere+carboplatin,

Jevtana Time
MO has put me on
Jevtana
starting next cycle, 2 weeks from today. I know this is first cousin to Docetaxel, which I just completed 11 rounds this year, following 6 in 2016 after Dx. Wondering who has used this chemo, and how much success you had with it.

Jevtana failed, next Lutetium-177
His MO proposed
Jevtana
and we did it. But after second cycle, the mets got slightly bigger, so no good response. Now the MO recommends us Lu-177 as next treatment. He said it can be effective on liver and bone mets and may have less side effects than chemo.

Friend with advanced Prostate cancer
Was then treated with
jevtana
and psa climbed to 1000. Not sure of Gleason score. He sees his hematologist/oncologist tomorrow. That guy has already told my friend, Bob, and his wife that he has not had much success with immuno therapies. Are there treatments available for someone like this?

PSA stable but Cancer spread to liver
Doc recommended 3 cycles of
Jevtana
at first. And he said he is not taking PSA as a reference anymore, since it spread with stable PSA. Any one had such experience in the group? What could you recommend?

Chemo 18 dripping now. Good news on response.
Chemo 18 is 12 docetaxol and this is 6th
jevtana
. Stay the course, put next one off till 4 weeks for the Cornwall trip. The comparative bone scan showed marked decrease metastatic disease in right hip. Also on the ct many other spots were reduced.

Bone Mets and rising PSA
He's scheduled to get a port and start
Jevtana
chemotherapy next Thurs. He had docetaxel 7 treatments from Dec. 2016 to April 2017 and then he had Zytiga from Aug. 2017 to Feb. 2018 because it quit working and PSA has been continually rising since then.

What's my next line of defense?
This time we selected Cabazitaxel (
Jevtana
) along with prednisone; I would get 6 to 10 infusions, one infusion every three weeks.

Jevtana side effects.
Need advice on minimizing side effects of
jevtana
-especially muscle/bone pain and appetite and taste of food.

PC treatments and liver cancer
I have been through the Zitiga, Xtandi and then
Jevtana
Chemo and i now have metastatic PC on my liver. The interesting point is others have reported similar situations after coming off these drugs. Oh yes my PSA sky rocketed also.

PSA still rising on 2 types of chemo treatments
So my father has now finished 3 rounds of
Jevtana
and carboplatin. His PSA has only gone up 1-2 points over the last 3 infusions, but today it went up 3 points. Not much compared to The doubling time before but I’m Still concerned if chemo is working or not.
