Taxotere
I am looking for any information regarding men with prostate cancer, who have had chemo using
Taxotere
. Please tell me what we should expect with the chemo treatments such as side effect and how it might effect him, how long did it take for PSA to decrease.

8/4/23 Update questions for MO
Choose from and possibly combine:
Taxotere
, Xtandi, Xofigo, and Provenge. 4. Switch to xtandi or Casodex 5. Try docetaxel, which works by directly killing cancer cells, but can have substantial side effects, 6.

Taxotere
Have read that a follow up to the radiation is now
Taxotere
or another chemo. Has anyone has this therapy and what were your results? Did it keep the PC from returning or spreading ? Thank you so much.

neutropenic on first chemo
Hi - my husband had his first
taxotere
infusion on the 21st and was admitted to the hospital on the 28th with fever and neutropenia. He went WBC nadir in the hospital on the 29th. The infectious disease doctor was consulted and she thinks his stomach/gut bacteria is infecting him.

Diagnosed under 55
I’ll start, my husband was 48 at diagnosis, stage four and had two types of chemo (carbo/
taxotere
) and after completion did over 30 rounds to his prostate and left hip (two main tumors). They thought he had a recurrence so did six more radiation to his spine.

Chemo may be helping
Hi Fellow Fighters, Prior to my third round of
Taxotere
last Friday, I had blood work done. After 2 rounds, my PSA dropped 4.7 points. TBH, I feel like crap today, but the results are promising. My blood work also showed low cortisol levels, how concerned should I be about that? Thanks.

Wife of mCRPC. You men are rockstars. Need advice
My question - If his PSA continues to decline on
Taxotere
, does he stop after 6? Based on my bio, do you have any suggestions about what’s next? Does anyone go into a temp remission, or shall we expect PSA to rise shortly after infusion stops?

Thankful
My husband had his first chemo treatment of 275ml Docetaxel (
Taxotere
) on 1/11/24 at 2 pm. Thankfully he has had no bad side effects to it except for flatulence. He has not had to take any pain medication since mid day on 1/11/24.

New to Medicare
Does Medicare part B and D cover all the major PC drug treatments with a minimal co-pay and minimal approvals i.e.Taxotere, Erleada, Xtandi, Pluvicto (Lu177), Dapolutamide, AC 225 etc. Also are PSMA scans covered?Thanks for your help.

Expectations after six cycles of Taxotere
My husband was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer nearly three years ago, receiving a regimen of ADT, which included abiraterone, Lupron and prednisone. When that no longer worked, he started first-line chemotherapy. He just completed his sixth cycle. His PSA dropped until the sixth infusion

New To The Thread
I’m doing the triplet treatments with Lupron, Nubeqa, and
taxotere
(for chemo). My med oncologist has called it the STAMPEDE trial, although I’m not actually in a trial. I was diagnosed last August and recently finished chemo. I’m still on ADT.

Taxotere and fingerprints.
After three rounds of
taxotere
to date my fingerprints aren't completely gone, but even with retraining my TouchID Mac and phone won't respond to them. To my eye they look smooth, but a close up photo reveals there's still a pattern.

I had three Jevtana infusions.
I feel really good, compared to the time when I finished
Taxotere
, Pelvic radiation and Xtandi, which was killing me and I had to stop. Is there any sign to tell that things are working?

He already had Zytiga, Xtandi, radiation, cryotherapy, Immunotherapy and
Taxotere
