Zytiga, with and without food
In a few weeks I'll start taking Zytiga, following
taxotere
chemo. There have been discussions on this group about taking Zytiga with a low fat breakfast and being able to reduce the dosage to 25%.

Second Opinion
He has agreed to try
Taxotere
and will have his first round this Friday but I want to be prepared and stay ahead of this. He was given 6 months without chemo and 1yr with chemo and I refuse to take that deal. My dad has never been sick in his life before this diagnosis.

Why its called palliative chemo in my report. Got a reliable update.
"But now after completing my 6 cycles of palliative Chemo (
Taxotere
), I am a bit calmer and more apprehensive to my condition." According to the good doctor seeing to my health recovery, the word palliative is used to indicate that my cancer being treated had metastasized.

PSA rise on Xtandi
Already had 10 rounds of
taxotere
. Wondering how long Xtandi lasted for others and when they determined it had failed?

Cancer good, legs bad
He started chemo (
taxotere
) a few days later, with Lupron shots monthly. Four rounds of chemo later, he started Zytiga and prednisone. As he was going through chemo, his legs/feet started swelling and aching. He started to elevate his legs at night, and used compression socks.

No survival benefit to debulking the prostate with radiation in first randomized clinical trial
But there are some caveats: • The radiation dose was low (70 Gy) • Whole pelvic radiation was not allowed • Brachy boost therapy was not allowed • They did not include the systemic therapies (
Taxotere
and Zytiga) proven to increase survival when used at the time of diagnosis Here's a discussion: https

Alkaline Phos and Hemoglobin
I’m confused because the Dr told my dad to start thinking about
taxotere
. He seemed concerned and we haven’t even gotten the PSA back. Can anyone offer any feedback on this? Also I wanted to thank everyone because I asked for him to be put on Metformin and he wrote a Rx. Thank you!

Taxotere and Cyramza
Wondering if anyone has been on
Taxotere
and Cyramza and what kind of side effects have they experienced. I am really not liking what I am reading. Have been on Alimta and Dr wanted to add Avastin, however my insurance co denied.

Zytiga + ADT OR Taxotere + ADT?! Advice please.
We saw two doctors over the past week and one wants to start him on ADT + Zytiga, while the other wants to start him on ADT +
Taxotere
. Seems like results from going with either option are pretty similar. Outside of cost, does anyone have thoughts on pros and cons?

Avoiding chemo side effects - Taxotere
It's important to note that
TAXOTERE
is also used as a chemotherapy treatment option for other types of cancer besides prostate cancer, as well. As a weapon of attack,
TAXOTERE
has cytotoxic properties that attack rapidly growing cancer cells.

Oncologist appointment results as promised.
Also, he’s not too happy that I want to try taxol or
taxotere
again, based on what happened to me last time and besides, he’s lots more chemo to try before that happens. I mentioned the taxol and
taxotere
only because I really thought that my cancer was progressing.

New to site
We would start
taxotere
ln a lower dose (fragmented) once a week third week off. Getting ready to do 8th treatment and side effects have been minimal. Psa was 184 when started now 82. Found this site months ago and read every day. Very ignorant about anything in the medical field.

My journey with Stage 4 Mets PSA continues
After the first chemo treatment with
taxotere
, my MO said to expect a spike by the time the next treatment was due in 3 weeks. It did spike to 137 and today I am happy to report that the PSA dropped to 117.

Where did I go wrong (or did I)?- first chemo
My first (
Taxotere
/Docetaxel) chemotherapy treatment is over. I want to bring up the "Chemo Crash" that seems to happen on the 3-4 days. It was hell! The best I could do was lay in bed that whole time. Head felt like in a vise, big time flu feeling, aching joints.
