Under 50 - 3 Years out with M1b disease - an update!
My PSA went to undetectable during month 4 somewhere after my first or second
taxotere
session. My T dropped to below .2 quite quickly as well. I had negative margins and extended pelvic lymph dissection at surgery with negative nodes.

Started Xtandi Today after Taxotere Finished.
Three weeks ago I had my last of 6 sessions (every 3 weeks) of
Taxotere
and monthly Lupron shots. Post RP PSA was 63 and now after chemo undetectable. Got back Ct scans and no Mets to chest, abdomen or pelvic area. One enlarged node shrank. Staying on Lupron and starting Xtandi.

Input?
Bo) is in Springfield, Ohio, and I also had a referral PC doc from Ohio State U (Pariykh), they both told me chemo (
taxotere
) was a good route to go. I underwent these treatments starting in November, 6 every 3 weeks. PSA dropped to 8.3 at end of treatment in February 2021.

Positive Guardant 360 Test-What does it mean
I did SBRT Lupron/Zytega and 4 rounds of
Taxotere
. After 21 months of of the Lupron /Zytega and .01 PSA, I went on an 18 month “vacation” from Lupron/Zytega. With my PSA rising again, my most recent PSMA scan revealed a “probable met” at L-5.

Walking pace and COVID-19 study. Exercise also helps us with PCa
Had 15
Taxotere
sessions in 2015 Since the restart of chemo, PSA has dropped from 9.6 to 4.2 - not as much as I hoped :-( with two more to go But, a decrease is always welcome.

Docetaxel/Taxotere stopped after 7th Infusion
My first chemo infusion was Dec 16, 2020, with the 21 day cadence. My last two blood tests prior to infusion showed my PSA jumping up again. I wasn't worried about my PSA rising as the fine gentlemen on this forum have stated that PSA may go up do to dying cells. MO told me "it's not working so we're

psa fluctuation on taxotere
I started my 3rd round of
taxotere
yesterday and they tested my psa . Before the chemo I have 3 rounds of SBRT which dropped my psa from 60 to 16. After my 1st round of chemo my psa dropped from 16 to 13,4 yesterday my psa was back up to 15.1. Should I be panicking that the chemo is not working.

Abiraterone-Firmagon ADT not working fast enough to lower PSA
So Rather than rolling over to Apalutamide in 2 months, we’ll likely instead stop ADT, watch for recurrence, then likely go to chemotherapy with
taxotere
a few months down the road. And I’m now “Grade 5” in the new Gleason system. High Grade Prostate Cancer. Make sense? Options?

The final end of the battle.
He had spot radiation and
Taxotere
. He broke a vertebra in his back and was hospitalized for 2 weeks. He started Xofigo and had 4 injections. He could not continue with the last 2 because his platelet count went to 53,000 and he was feeling very ill.

Started Taxotere question
I started
taxotere
2 weeks ago. I was wondering if anyone can answer a couple of questions. When I had SBRT the oncologist told me that the treatment may make the cancer angry and cause pain in those spots being treated.

PSA on the Move
Kwon and I agreed to 18 months of ADT, six cycles of
taxotere
and 25 more IMRT to the PLNs with boosts and wider margins around the four identified in the C11 Choline scan. PSA dropped to undetectable with the first 90 day Lupron and the first two cycles of
taxotere
.

Has anyone experienced very low platelet counts with xofigo
Taxotere
chemo failed. Now just finished my fourth injection of Xofigo. My platelet count is down to 53,000. Has anyone had any negative experiences with xofigo and low platelet counts due to bone marrow suppression. My white and red blood cell counts also low.

3rd Chemo session complete
got my 3rd
Taxotere
infusion Tuesday, so far only noticeable side effects is dry mouth this morning. Tomorrow I'll probably feel worse, but so far so good. PSA down to 0.61 , a good drop from 1.78 three weeks ago. Alkaline phosphatase down in the 'normal' range now, 98.

Taxotere response
Does it mean that
Taxotere
has stopped working? Any input is appreciated.
