(Docetaxel(
Taxotere
) and Zytiga have already failed him.) This shitty disease. I’ve never felt so hopeless and useless. My heart breaks over and over. I don’t respond with empty sentiments that may not be true and softly tell him we’ll deal with the test results when we get them.

Taxotere
Infusions 10/2019 – 2/2020 (Scans in 2020 showed good response) Also on Eligard & Casodex 28 Radiation appts

Jevtana failing?
We were so hopeful for jevtana, as he did so well on
taxotere
(docetaxel) 😔 Thank you all. I really value all of your thoughts and experiences. 🤍

After
Taxotere
(6 ending in Feb 2021), PSA went form 1100 (Aug 2020) to 8. From April 20 to July 10, my PSA has risen from 8 to 36. My Alk Phos has risen from 60 to 154. I have had some pain in my hips, sometimes bad, but not always. My doctor had me get a bone scan, CT and MRI over last two weeks.

Mental Acuity?
Then added
Taxotere
on 07/19/19, strategy of being aggressive to the fight. So, on 02/20/2021, stopped all meds, because PSA is still undetectable, but my mind seems to get lost at times, is this because I'm 60 years old? Or, did the PCa treatments contribute to my mental acuity issues?

I need hope
I haven’t posted in awhile, I’m currently on
taxotere
due to liver mets. I have 2 treatments left and I need to find something to keep me here for my children. I have done falsodex and letozole along with lupron and xgeve.

Second thoughts
I met with my second oncologist yesterday about the fact that I have had 6 doses of
taxotere
.

Why wait?
Previously: RP, radiation x 2, and
taxotere
chemo. I “progressed” after each of these. Has anyone on the forum seen things turn around again while staying on the same treatment? Why wait until the PSA hits 2.0 before moving on to the next protocol?

With Supplements, ADT in Prostate Cancer of Little Threat to Bone Density - "Ca & Vit D supplementation alone may suffice" . . . Really????
[/i] Think: Eligard, Jevtana, &
Taxotere
. Sort of the research result you (Sanofi-Canada) would hope for, if you sell multiple ADT drugs, but none for osteoporosis; i.e., keep taking those ADT drugs and a small dose of Ca + D3 will be all you need for your bone health.

Anyone Have Blood Clots Following Chemo?
My chemo regimen for my PC included
Taxotere
beginning in 2017 and was completed prior to my radiation therapy. I experienced pain in that leg shortly after starting chemo, but an ultrasound in 2018 indicated nothing unusual at the time. I understand that this drug is linked to blood clots.

Optimal Chemo-Hormonal Sequencing for MCRPC Maybe Taxotere - Zytiga - Jevtana - Xtandi
The study included two different groups: Group A (80 men) were given docetaxel chemotherapy (
Taxotere
) followed by one of the second-line hormonal therapies: either abiraterone (Zytiga) or enzalutamide (Xtandi) Group B (32 men) were given a second-line hormonal therapy then followed by

Off label use of Mekinist (Trametinib)
Over next 3 years Provenge, Zytiga, Xtandi and
Taxotere
. By summer 2014 extensive in bone marrow. Xofigo started in Feb 2014. Became anemic and could only be kept alive with monthly blood transfusions. Xofigo stopped in August. PSA over 120. Bills chance of living another 6 months bleak.

I'm going to start Taxotere, what are the experiences that you guys have had with it?
I know not everyone has the same reaction, but I'm going to start
Taxotere
the first of May. I know these medicines supposed to last for 2 years but when I was first diagnosed I got the testosterone production halted, radiation, and started on some pills. No idea what they were.

Are all AR inhibitors the same?
Took docetaxel (
Taxotere
); worked for several months. Just finished 3 cycles of darolutamide (Nubeqa); PSA shot up from 33.6 to 50. MO now prescribes cabazitaxel (Jevtana). My question: Why not try enzalutamide first?

Any options left?
Diagnosis June 2019 Stage 4, mets to liver lungs and pelvis, PSA levels negligible as this type of prostate cancer never presented with elevated PSA levels. 1st regiment:
Taxotere
6 infusions which saw progress in tumor reduction size. 3 months off. 2nd regiment:
Taxotere
+ carboplatin 9 infusions,

Facing decision
I am on
taxotere
completed my 5th treatment but it is just making my life miserable . I am in constant muscle and nerve pain and it now has affected my bladder. I am trying to decide whether to stop the treatment because I have no quality of life even though my test are coming back stable.

The same mRNA science that brought us the COVID-19 vaccine is being studied for mCRPCa
The standard of care for men with mCRPCa after progressing following
taxotere
chemo and abiraterone is to hit it again with another round of another chemo such as docetaxel. (See Tall_Allen’s posts on this sequencing.). After that, well, our options start to be limited per NCCN guidelines.

DEXA Scan - how often?
His treatments: Lupron,
Taxotere
(6 rounds when first diagnosed), Zytiga and prednisone, Provenge. PSA has remained at <.1. No pain, he's still working full time. He has the usual side effects from the treatments, fatigue, weight gain, but nothing serious. He gets a CT scan once a year.
