PSA is increasing with Docetaxel, what should we do now ?
20mg/1mL vial (Docetaxel 20mg/mL), each cycle consists of: 40mg
Taxotere
per week (along with other medicines for fatigue and stomach pain or allergy that can be caused from chemotherapy) for 3 weeks, then followed by 1 week of rest and then PSA test by end of week 4, and those are the PSA results:

Recurred G9 after surgery. Painful lymph nodes, mass and hip met.
I Med Onco wants me to go the Lupron +
Taxotere
route. I've seen others go other routes such as HT+Zytiga or some other combo. I have a biopsy scheduled, but they cant do it for a couple of weeks.

Prednisone dosage with Taxotere?
He starts
Taxotere
3/1 so the doc stopped abiraterone and darolutamide for two weeks before
Taxotere
. Doc said to stay on the 5 mg of prednisone but I see the dosage sheet for
Taxotere
says to use 10 mg of prednisone during treatment. Can anyone clarify this? Dosing sheet may be outdated.

Update w/ Questions: Tumor growth w/o PSA rise; Chemo Round 2, Cabazitaxel This Time
Quick recap: diagnosed in 2010 at age 44, got robotic RP, then eventually radiation, then chemo (
taxotere
/docetaxel) and adt (Lupron) in 2016. My psa stayed slow growing for awhile, kept down by 10 months of casodex before growing.

Here we go again….
He added Zytiga in 2019 (PSA had gone back to 11) Recommendation now to re-do
taxotere
series (x 10 vs past x 6 doses), then add xtandi as follow-up….continuing lupron, Zytiga, too. Going to do some blood testing for genetic markers, etc.

Lupron and infusion (Taxotere/Docetaxel) on the same day?
Has anybody had a Lupron injection +
taxotere
/docetaxel infusion on the same day? Were the side effects worse or the same as receiving them separately, more than a week apart? I am scheduled for a double whammy in two weeks. Considering asking to postpone the Lupron by a week.

My awesome MO saved a life on an airplane
He saved mine by allowing me to have nine more

How soon can I get a covid vaccine after chemo with docetaxel/taxotere?
I just finished my chemo and would like to get a booster vaccine for Covid. Has anyone received a Covid booster after or during chemo? Have you had any adverse effects? Alternatively, has anyone had Covid during or soon after chemo? I understand those poor brothers unfortunate enough to dye from Covid

Knew husband had spot on9th rib latest scans/ct show more in spine! Will Chemo slow these down?
He is to have 6 treatments with
Taxotere
possibly more. Finished 3rd even with lowering dose past 3 days wiped out again! Would like to know if this will slow down the cancer? Will he have quality of life for a time after or is it continued treatments till they just don’t work anymore!

First time on this forum, hoping to connect with people with similar experience
I looked at the side effects of
Taxotere
and they look quite scary. I am wondering if my apnea is a risk factor for this medication, because it has "difficulty breathing" side effect. I am less worried about the Lupron, maybe because I know very little about it.

Zytiga - real experience vs the horror story of the possible side effects?
Hi All, I was diagnosed in May 2020, immediately put on Eligard and did a cycle of 6 doses of
Taxotere
. Following chemo, my PSA dropped into the low .2 area.

2 years post Taxotere and ADT, PSA increased from .3 to .4 to .8 over the course of six months. Next best step?
He chose to do 6 rounds of
Taxotere
with ADT. The result was tremendous! His PSA went to .3. He had a ton of cancer kill. There is no longer an issue with the bladder. This result has lasted for two years with a three month ADT shot. He PSA remained steady at .3 the entire time.

Pleural effusion post second round(18 cycles) of Taxotere
Hi all, My father just completed 18 cycles of
Taxotere
, this is his second round of chemo. PSA was rising on Abiraterone too after having failed Enzalutamide one and half year ago. Full history in profile. He was diagnosed with mild pleural effusion in lungs in PSMA PET scan after chemo.

My Oligometastatic Journey Update
The 3rd choice was a clinical trial of the IMRT plus ADT accompanied by 4 cycles of concurrent
Taxotere
chemo and Zytiga for 3 months. He said this would give me a better than 50% chance at the aforementioned remission in 10 years but could not say how much better at all.
