Ice on hands/feet during taxotere/docetaxel infusion: what for and does it work
I am having my second infusion in a week. From the first infusion I got some pain in my wrists and feet, especially when cold. Not sure if it is arthritis. Also food doesn't taste the same anymore. I've read that using ice during infusion can mitigate these effects. Googling helped, but I would like

Anyone added Xtandi while on Taxotere?
I am wondering if anyone has added Xtandi while undergoing chemo (
taxotere
)? I am doing a re-challenge (3 rounds done) with PSA holding - not going up or down. I understand Xtandi after chemo is a good option - but what about "during" to hit things hard. Thanks.

What kind timeline are we looking at?
Patient completed 6/6 doses of
Taxotere
on 4/15/16. He remains on lupron, changed from 22.5 mg Q3 months to 7.5 mg monthly in December 2016. He had restaging scans with CT C/A/P and bone scan on 2/26/18, which found no progression of disease.

Adventures with Cabazitaxel
Hey gang, Was supposed to begin the first of six Cabazitaxel sessions last Friday(the six
Taxotere
rechallenge failed) , but the pharmacy messed up the mixture and it got moved to today! Looked up the cost, and Kaiser wasted $7800 with that error.

13 year Battle with Stage 4 PC
The oncologist offered the chemo
Taxotere
- he had 3 infusions and scans showed no improvement and significant weight loss. The scans showed some bone Mets as well as lymph node involvement. Next would be one infusion of Jevtana.

Latest Axumin scan - onwards to Cabazitaxel 😁
This will be 12 chemos this year with my rechallenge with
Taxotere
ending in April. Had 15
Taxotere
chemos in 2015, PSA went from 840.2 to 0.7 that year. But doubled in two months from 2.6 to 5.5 this year 🤔 That's a lot of pesticides 😂 Fight on y'all Randy

Keytruda 2 year update
After my PSA hit a high of 122 and then started rising while on
Taxotere
and having gone through most SOC including 2 runs at chemo, a clinical trial and other SOC. I got on Keytruda which crushed my PSA to undetectable (<0.01) after three cycles, where it stayed for about a year.

Brip1 mutation
The initial dose of
taxotere
And it completely wiped him out. 2 months later and he still can’t walk independently. Any recommendations for less toxic therapy that’s also effective?

COC Protocol with letrozole and ibrance
Went on
Taxotere
and almost killed me. Started Ibrance and Letrozole in 1/2021. I have seen some reduction in tumors. I just started COC protocal 7 days ago. I am hopeful and will be reporting how it works out for me on this site. Of course hoping to get to NED again with help of COC.

Docetaxel/Taxotere stopped after 1st Infusion & Radiation
After chemo went radiation therapy within few days to treat tumor in spine shown MRI. The PSA went from 24 prior to chemo to 33 after 3 weeks after chemo. Fatigue was off charts and neuropathy/ numbness in feet / legs became worse after chemo/ radiation. Considering Xofigo infusions to treat tumors

PSA still rising despite Taxotere rechallenge
Hey gang, Had 6
Taxotere
chemos ending in April 2021. Had 15 in 2015. An Axumin scan showed that the 2 x 1cm iliac lymph nodes had reduced uptake 😊 PSA hit a three year low at 2.2.

Turkey Tail Mushrooms destroying PC?
Afterall,
taxotere
is a tree bark and radio active comes from rock. Nature provides agents that kill cancer. Fungus gave us antibiotics. Fungus breaks things down for food. It makes sense that Turkey Tail mushrooms engage the immune system and break down cancer.

SSDI process
During the 4 months on
taxotere
she took a leave from work(short term disability), but went back after herceptin and perjeta only started. Her latest scan showed progression in lymph node under arm pit and lung nodule. Her oncologist is advising going on
taxotere
(assuming 4 months again).

An Enigma
The issue that I face is a high PSA(146) after Lupron, Casodex, Zytiga and Chemo (
Taxotere
). I still receive an injection of Trelstar every 3 months and am currently taking the chemo drug Lynparza.
