Need to decide path forward... which way to go?
Would want to start either therapy within a 3-month period; docetaxel would be for 18 weeks, Zytiga for two years Discussed the need for prostate/pelvic EBRT down the road after systemic therapy, would initiate after his
Taxotere
chemo or after at least 3-6 mos Zytiga.

From a Post I was going to put on Facebook, but didn't.
The type of chemotherapy that they use primarily for Prostate Cancer is a "hand me down" from Breast Cancer...it's called
Taxotere
. Makes you feel like you're wearing your older sister's hand me downs.....😢 3.

Any ideas on how to find local oncologist to implement Dr Scholz' treatment plan?
I know there is a lot of "doctor's professional pride" at work here, and not sure how to best find someone to administer my
Taxotere
chemo. I'm thinking that others of you have already dealt with a similar issue. Any thoughts or experiences? Ned

Passed on.
Tried
Taxotere
, then Jevtana, and was on carbo/Jevtana till he passed. We went to Sloan Kettering, Dana Farber, and Mass General. I had him all over! He was also transfusion dependent receiving weekly transfusions for over a year and a half. That’s about 100 blood transfusions.

Castration resistant prostate cancer - Starting Jevtana with Prednisone in a few days
His Oncologist started him on
Taxotere
and Dexamethazone on August 2015. He was okay until September 2016 when he had an infection and was in the hospital for about a month. He completed his 10 rounds of chemo in April 2017 and has been a chemo holiday ever since.

Advice for upcoming Chemo treatment
He will begin
taxotere
3/2 (every 3 weeks, 6 cycles). Treatment will continue at Methodist Hospital in Houston. I'm writing in hopes of receiving advice/tips for my dad while he’s doing this, what to expect and lookout for. My dad doesn’t complain at all.

Update on husband's condition - hopeful?
Additionally, he said that
Taxotere
can't be administered at the same time as any radiation. (I didn't know that - always learning something new). MO stated that chemo is more of 50/50 proposition as opposed to a 90 percent chance of success (cancer and pain) with the radiation.

Zytiga+Zoladex instead of Taxotere
I sought a second opinion on whether
Taxotere
was the most appropriate course of action after casodex and Zoladex which reduced PSA only to a certain level and stopped to drive it down.

Castrate-resistant medication options?
Hello all, my dad's case is unfortunately not reponsing well to ADT (Casodex and Zoladex) and protocol will be changed to Chemo (
Taxotere
and prednisone) while keeping Zoladex injections every three months. Any experiences with
Taxotere
?

Advice Needed Urgently
Chemotherapy would start at the same time and would consist of IV infusions of
Taxotere
every 3 weeks for 4 to 6 cycles with daily oral administrations of Casodex. Six to eight weeks after chemo ends, radiotherapy would begin. Dr. Pienta said this should eradicate the disease.

Please help me girls to get out of this gloom
I knew in my heart that nothing was happening since I went on weekly carbo/avastin only but they won't give me Taxol or
Taxotere
again after what it did for me. Together with a load of stuff going on with other things I just needed a boost today and it hasn't come.

Other taxotere side affects?
Taxotere
side affects. In addition to standard/largely documented side affects, has anyone experienced stuffy nose with this chemo drug?

Treatment change imminent for mcrpc
I was entered into the Chaarted Study and received
taxotere
and lupron. My PSA quickly dropped from 7 to 0.1 although I had to withdraw from the
taxotere
(chemo) halfway through the treatment cycle due to the onset of chemo induced neuropathy in my feet and legs which persists to this day.

Axumin Study: Xofigo Working
I attribute the reduction in bone mets to Xofigo, but keep in mind that in the last three years I've been on Lupron and a variety of oral hormone therapy drugs (most recently Zytiga for the last nine months), have been treated with
Taxotere
and Provenge as well as adopting a dairy and meat-free diet.

Chemotherapy, a Trusty Weapon Against Cancer, Falls Out of Favor
Among the chemotherapy drugs commonly used against breast cancer are Cytoxan, Adriamycin, Taxol and
Taxotere
