Followed with 9 or 10 rounds of
taxotere
, Lupron, brief break from

How quickly should PSA drop after docetaxel (chemo) ??
Its been 50 days since I had my first infusion of chemo (docetaxel,
taxotere
). I have had 3 infusions thus far. The side effects have been negligible. The dosage was 100 mg for the first two cycles and 120 mg for the third. My PSA has dropped from 8.4 to 5.65 in this period of 50 days.

Update on my dad-PSA not budging on Taxotere
Update on my dad.........just got labs back before getting his 3rd round of
Taxotere
. His Alkaline Phosphotase went from 1250 to 600!!! I was so happy about that but his PSA went from 20 to 21. His PSA was 20 before he started chemo. It’s not budging. Is this bad?

Rapidly increasing ALP levels....has anyone experienced?
Have done
Taxotere
, Xgeva , Lupron , Zytiga for one year but off now for one month. Long story but currently waiting to see about Xofigo treatment which was started while on Zytiga until this forum posted the warning from Bayer pharmaceuticals regarding Zytiga and Xofigo used together.

Knee Pain
I had to stop walking on treadmill because of knee pain, my primary care doctor took xrays and said my knees have little padding between, he also mentioned arthritis; I believe it is from
taxotere
and lupron and the weight I have gained.

Another case of Rising ALP
I have many bone mets and in some lymph nodes This summer had 6X
Taxotere
infusions, and PSA dropped from 78 to 15 in the process, however towards the end of the chemo treatment it had gone back up to 22. Started Zytiga around Oct 10, and the PSA dropped to 4.8 but looks like it's levelling there.

PSA stable? Good? Bad?
My dad just got his PSA results today right before starting his 2nd infusion of
taxotere
. His PSA has stayed stable. It is sitting at 20 exactly what it was 3wks ago right before his first infusion. Is this good? Bad?

Seeking Details of Chemo Process
Scheduled for chemo (
taxotere
) in January and would like to now details of the process, i.e. Do they simply tap into a vein in my arm and start a drip? If so, for how long? Am I given other drugs to take to stem side effects? (If so...what?)

Night Thoughts
Uro wants me to start
Taxotere
ASAP and I still worry about cardiac risk. Thinking about waiting to see if ADT stops working before starting chemo to protect heart as long as possible - suggestions from the community?

As regards hydration before & after chemotherapy (docetaxel)........
I am taking 100mg/m2 of docetaxel (
taxotere
). The chemo session begins with 2 hours of hydration, followed by 2 hours of anti chemo side effects IV's and then 1 hour of chemotherapy. This is followed by 2 hours of hydration once again. A total of 7 hours, give or take a bit.

Made it Through 1st Week of Chemo
My treatment so far has been a loading dose of Fermagon and a week down of
taxotere
. I have at least 6 week cycles of chemo scheduled. So far so good no real symptoms that have changed my normal routine. No nausea, no digestive issues, no hair loss yet, no change in energy levels.

My message: Advanced MPCa patients should be seeing a leading genitourinary oncologist!
I went there knowing that it was unlikely that I would be eligible for a clinical trial, given that my PSA is steady at 0.1 after
taxotere
chemotherapy.

Book recommendation
., where I had 19 proton beam treatments, 18 IMRT radiation treatments, and 7
taxotere
treatments from March -May 2009, called me. She said my oncologist, Nancy Mendenhall, wanted to know how I was doing. I said tell her “I’m alive, and doing well, all things considered”.

More bad news
Next treatment option
Taxotere
(if he even does that). I am completely heartbroken! If he does
taxotere
how much time will this buy him at a Gleason 10 with PSA doubling every 3wks?

Finally Had First Treatment for Advanced Prostate Cancer
So Phase 1 was a loading dose of Fermagon, scheduled chemo at Buffet Cancer in Omaha of
Taxotere
then return to Mayo for C-11 Cholene scan and reevaluation. Dr Kwon called me on Sunday to make sure I understood the plan and to answer any questions. He also gave me his home phone number.
