my tumor shrank away
Treatment with perjeta, herceptin and
taxotere
worked miracle. But next month I had severe allergy to perjeta so the doctor removed the drug from treatment. For now all my lesions are healing but I have mets in my brain. Treatment consists of tykerb and femara.

Prednisone helps with Taxotere side effects, but...
I've been taking 10mg of prednisone daily with the
Taxotere
(Docetaxel) chemo. So far, it really seems to help wth side effects but appears to be making my ADT hot flashes worse. And they are already pretty bad to begin with.

Rising PSA - When to be concerned?
Had radiation treatment in spine for pain, Lupron since diagnosis, 6 rounds of chemo (
taxotere
) that finished 18-months ago (Stampede). My PSA at diagnosis was 227. The first month it dropped to 9.4 and dropped to 0.1 within 4-months. Stayed at 0.1 for about a year.

Anyone out there been on Mitoxantrone [Novantrone]??
He's been on Zytiga for nearly a year, after doing well on
Taxotere
for almost a year. Zytiga started losing its punch a few months ago, and his PSA has gone from 140 to 200.

Good Response with Cyramza/Taxotere
Last Friday I had PET/CT after 2 rounds of Cyramza/
Taxotere
. The results were amazingly good! Pleural thickening is basically gone and pleural effusion almost gone. Tumor shrunk and lymph node involvement totally reduced as well as SUV uptake down all around. No signs of any additional mets.

Medical Center Experiences
My father just finished his 6 rounds of
Taxotere
(some radiation at the same time and continuing ADT and anti androgen therapy). My mother is hoping to integrate some natural treatment, which our oncologist is not familiar with and found this center. Thank you

Supporting a Family Member with NSCLC
Been 8 months now, is doing the docefrez
taxotere
chemo. Hoping this will work. His spirit seems to be broken now. I'm trying to keep him up. Man, this is hard, especially since he was a non-smoker.

Recovery from Taxotere cycle 2
Just coming up out of the chemo crash and well into the recovery stage at day 9. While the side effects of the second cycle were more or less the same as the first, the biggest difference seems to be how I'm feeling at day 9 compared to last cycle at the same point. It's a noticeable improvement. I'm

Cyramza/Taxotere
Yesterday was round 2 of Cyramza/
Taxotere
. All in all, side effects from round one were doable. Worst ones being mouth/tongue sores and major hair loss. Some fatigue but keeping up with life for which I am truly grateful.

How do you know if chemo is working?
Hi Guys, I've had 4 rounds of Docetaxel (
Taxotere
) and before the last round, I asked the oncologist how we can tell if the chemo is working. She said that we know it's working by my PSA being low and stable (it's at 1.0).

Seeking Surgery & Chemo Advice Please
Because I was treated with andriamycin for soft tissue sarcoma six years ago, my chemo will instead likely be
Taxotere
/Cytoxan. Any helpful advice for me for the surgical experience? Has anyone had this type of chemo and can share with me their side effects experience?

Why is a Mastectomy Needed?
I have had 3 rounds of treatment so far with Perjeta/Herceptin/
Taxotere
. Tumour has completely shrunk away so far. My question is if there is no sign of an active tumour at the end of the 6 rounds then why is a mastectomy needed? I am 46 yrs old.

Taxotere Nanoparticle Trial
I commenced participation in a clinical trial at MD Anderson on 2/21/17 to study the effects of CRLX-301, a nanoparticle formulation of
Taxotere
. I received two infusions without side effect, but was denied the third due to low neutrophil count.
