Starting a new chemo drug
So, now I'm starting
taxotere

"Researchers Develop New Strategy to Target Breast Cancer Metastasis in Bones"
Given they are using the same chemo commonly used in 1st line treatment for Stage 4 prostate cancer, what is the difference, if any, using this same chemo in nanoparticles, as discussed in the article below: "....researchers developed a nanoparticle containing the chemotherapy

MD Anderson today
After finishing my 9th round of
taxotere
- at Tx Oncology in Dallas- I traveled yesterday with my wife to Houston to see Dr. Corn. We have been here since 8am and it has been excellent so far. He is recommending I stop chemo and monitor PSA for a while, and take action when PSA levels begin to rise.

Going wrong way after only 6 months
PSA before surgery was 52, so Wrong Way from the start. 4 weeks in PSA was down to 6.65 and started
Taxotere
chemo. Steady drops into 0.4 --0.3--0.2--0.167. about 25% drop per treatment. Got 6th of 10
Taxotere
treatments today, but blood tests show PSA starting to creep Wrong Way.

Anyone with similar experience?
Then treated with
taxotere
with prednisone and xgeva injections then treated with cabazitaxel and finally xtandi while still getting xgeva injections monthly. The xtandi seemed to be working well - brought his PSA down to .80 but suddenly he had difficulty walking.

Back to Chemo
First time around was with
taxotere
, second with carboplatin and etoposide and this time cabazitaxel. Feel like we are almost out of options as if this fails, the last thing we have available is possibly a clinical trial. Spirits are down for both of us but I am trying to stay positive.

Carboplatin, taxotere, herceptin
Hi all, I've been on max doses of carboplatin,
taxotere
, and herceptin for almost a year now and while it seems to be controlling the disease (last year I saw a lot of progression, this year not so much as my PET scans are showing mixed results but mostly a decrease), I just can't take the side effects

Vinorelbine
I'm coming off of carboplatin and
taxotere
, which was a very long lnfusion, made me feel terrible for about 10 days after, and had to take steroids plus a diabetic drug because the steroids elevated my glucose.

Cause of liver enzymes continuing to rise? ALT and AST
If his liver enzymes are lower after 10 days they'll lower the
taxotere
dosage and give him the chemo. If they are still up they will do an MRI and more investigating. Is it possible that his gym time can raise his liver enzymes? I've read that muscles repairing can cause elevated liver enzymes?

Jevtana [Cabazitaxel] & Androgen Status.
Jevtana is a taxane (as is
Taxotere
), & was approved by the FDA for men with CRPC in 2010. Typically, in castrate-resistant PCa [CRPC], the cancer remains androgen-sensitive & has found alternative sources.

When is Genetic testing for Advance Prostate Cancer advised to be done???? my doctor told me I didn't need to.
Four months into lupron and about to do my 3rd chemotherapy session with
Taxotere
....I asked about getting some kind of "genetic" testing done...and he said...it wasn't necessary "yet". What does that mean? Seems like it would be done right away...to save wasted treatments, etc...

"Role of PARP Inhibitors Clarified in Prostate Cancer"
The study enrolled 50 patients who were no longer responding to standard treatments, including docetaxel (
Taxotere
), abiraterone acetate (Zytiga), enzalutamide (Xtandi), or cabazitaxel (Jevtana). Genomic sequencing was performed on tumor biopsies as a requirement of the study.
