Immunotherapy
hi everyone I’ve been advised that I can start immunotherapy within 41 days of my 6 week chemo / radiation treatment ending which means mid January … I’m very apprehensive about immunotherapy as I’ve only heard mainly bad stories I guess ….. can anyone offer any positivity about it at all ? Re side effects

Setback
I managed to get the palliative chemo treatment in the hope I would be one of the lucky ones, but it wasn't to be. I had 4 sessions, the first with pemetrexed and carboplatin. but the following three I only got carboplatin, due to my kidneys giving a GFR reading of 37. The last chemo was 25 Nov and then

what’s typically after taxotere?
My father did 10 days radiation to lumbar spine and pelvis, is doing ADT (zytiga,Lupron) as well the xgeva. He just did his first round of taxotere last week and we’re gonna get him through the 6 rounds, god willing. What’s typically the next step after chemo? Does he then do immunotherapy? Also,

Trying to Figure out a couple of things
I have two questions, they're unrelated with each other. 1) Besides PTSD and Anxiety, I'm also Type 1 Diabetic, and I noticed that sometimes if I'm having a low BGL (blood sugar) sometimes I'll have an anxiety attack at the same time. I don't know why that is. I've been Type 1 for about 5 almost 6

The potential of using circulating tumour cells and their gene expression to predict docetaxel response in metastatic PCa: 14 Dec 2022.

After 11 years, dad has started chemo for the first time
Hey all, dad was diagnosed in Feb 2012 (removed prostate right away), metastasized to the coccyx in 2019. Been on Zoladex (for life), Zytiga, Xtandi, etc. Now that his PSA is very slowly increasing (been going up since 2019 from below 0.30 to now at 2.0+), his oncologist recommended we enroll him in
