Blood clots and blood in urine (no radiation)
Had second round of
taxotere
last week...next one in two weeks. He's had mild blood in urine since two days after first chemo. A few small clots. Onc says to keep an eye on it.

No, I've not been captured by aliens. Just sick and playing Nana.
Taxol was stopped and replaced with
Taxotere
. Two days after the
Taxotere
I was vomiting, pooing for the Olympics and had a head full of eczema. I suffered for 10 days, lost about 8 kgs and our nurse came and phoned for an ambulance.

anyone taking Nevirapine/Viramune at the same time as doing taxotere chemotherapy.
my doctor said that doing this combination (although I'm only 60 and athletic and have great bone density) would require me to do the Neulasta with each treatment to help my white cells from dropping. The Neulasta is a killer ....horrible bone pain... and I'm just wondering if anyone else was on the

Can you work during chemo?
Results showed cancer in 4 out of 9 lymph nodes ER positive HER negative so I am now told I will be starting 6 cycles on EC chemo and
Taxotere
the week after next.

Good news at last
For cycle 5 my oncologist decided to try a sister drug to Paclitaxel called
Taxotere
in addition to the Carboplatin. Unfortunately I also had a severe anaphylactic reaction to this within the first 5 minutes, so it had to be stopped again and I had just Carboplatin once more.

Low-Dose Naltrexone [LDN].
Perhaps there is a softening-up role for LDN with
Taxotere
, etc. Or with immunological treatments? LDN is presumably not to be used with prednisone. -Patrick [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?

Zytiga
I have had 5 sessions on
taxotere
and now after the last chemo he is going to put me on zytiga or xtandi pills and said I will need to stay on them and my Lupron every 4 months. Just wondering if anyone has gone this route? My psa is down to 9 from 1400. Thanks for your help.

New here...
All docs have said nothing is off the table- right now hoping to calm it all down with Lupron and
Taxotere
. Whew- that was a lot to write.

Introduction - Wife/Caretaker of Advanced Prostate Cancer Husband
We have finished our 5 th of 6 rounds of chemo (
Taxotere
and Carboplatin) The next path the Doctor is discussing is Xofigo right after the Chemo is done. We had a scan before Chemo it showed bone mets and some lymph node activity. My sweetie is tolerating chemo beautifully.

PET - News to cheer me up and hope it helps you too.
Strangely, my eyelashes have grown (they didn't fall out as I only had one dose of Taxol and one of
Taxotere
) and they are growing curly. They went short and stubby from old age.

Opinions and advice needed
For cycle 5 my oncologist decided to still go with Carboplatin, but add in
Taxotere
(a sister drug to Taxol), however, I had another anaphylactic reaction to
Taxotere
, so we still ploughed ahead with the Carboplatin.

Jevtana Results
I started my chemo treatment with Jevtana (Cabazitaxel) after
Taxotere
was not able to contain the lymph nodes tumor growth around my bladder or lower my PSA and I was wondering if other guys have gone this route and what were the results. I have already gone through Xtandi, Zytiga etc....

Update on DAD - NSCLC
He was on chemotherapy (
taxotere
). This is his 3rd line of treatments. Was working at first, everything was shrinking, including the liver tumors, but now they have just gotten a little larger. We have stopped his chemo, for now, cause it is just taxing on his body; no energy, no appetite, etc.

DAD with NSCLC fluid in lung
He is getting chemo (
taxotere
) every 3 or 4 weeks which seems to have shrunken the tumors. Recently his cough is a little more persistent. Seems to happen when hes lies down for a nap, then starts a coughing spell for about 3 mins. after a while it subsides.
