How long does PSA stay down after chemo?
For those that have had
Taxotere
how long did you see your drop in PSA last after your last session? I’m hoping to get a couple of months of stable PSA out of the treatments.

It’s NOT neuroendocrine or small cell!!!
Jeff completed 5 rounds of Docetaxel (
Taxotere
). He was given the option to go ahead and complete the 6th infusion, but he decided against it (with his oncologist’s approval). Jeff was put on the oral medication Abiraterone (Zytiga) and Prednisone.

Any input on Abraxane chemo?
It contains
taxotere
but I’d get weekly injections with lesser side effects instead of monthly injections of
taxotere
with stronger side effects. See below. My April 7 PSA Diagnostic did not drop for the 3rd month in a row.

Second opinion
If I do
taxotere
she would agree to do hormonal treatment tamoxifen. So I’m just so confused!!!

Folfox after Taxotere and Jevtana failed

Lymph’s nodes relapse
I have been doing a lot of research and according a video posted by Dr Scholtz from PCRI, my friend would be in the high indigo stage and then would required to be treated with radiotherapy plus lupron plus second generation hormone therapy and a set of 6 sessions of
Taxotere
to still give him a chance

Any bladder issues while on taxotere
One of my oncologists stated that the
taxotere
could be problem because it effects the nerve endings. Just a little concerned that will not go back to normal. Thanks for any input.

Input?
Bo) is in Springfield, Ohio, and I also had a referral PC doc from Ohio State U (Pariykh), they both told me chemo (
taxotere
) was a good route to go. I underwent these treatments starting in November, 6 every 3 weeks. PSA dropped to 8.3 at end of treatment in February 2021.

Latest Axumin scan after 6 Taxotere sessions to rechallenge the PCa after I had 15 in 2015
Hey gang, just heard from the Kaiser MO and the two 1 cm iliac lymph nodes have resolved. The left to 7mm with minimal uptake and the right is normal💙✌️ Plan is to continue Eligard and monitor the PSA. She also offered to do biomarker test. As I did in 2015, I fasted two days prior to each and brought

Under 50 - 3 Years out with M1b disease - an update!
My PSA went to undetectable during month 4 somewhere after my first or second
taxotere
session. My T dropped to below .2 quite quickly as well. I had negative margins and extended pelvic lymph dissection at surgery with negative nodes.

Started Xtandi Today after Taxotere Finished.
Three weeks ago I had my last of 6 sessions (every 3 weeks) of
Taxotere
and monthly Lupron shots. Post RP PSA was 63 and now after chemo undetectable. Got back Ct scans and no Mets to chest, abdomen or pelvic area. One enlarged node shrank. Staying on Lupron and starting Xtandi.

Positive Guardant 360 Test-What does it mean
I did SBRT Lupron/Zytega and 4 rounds of
Taxotere
. After 21 months of of the Lupron /Zytega and .01 PSA, I went on an 18 month “vacation” from Lupron/Zytega. With my PSA rising again, my most recent PSMA scan revealed a “probable met” at L-5.

Walking pace and COVID-19 study. Exercise also helps us with PCa
Had 15
Taxotere
sessions in 2015 Since the restart of chemo, PSA has dropped from 9.6 to 4.2 - not as much as I hoped :-( with two more to go But, a decrease is always welcome.

Docetaxel/Taxotere stopped after 7th Infusion
My first chemo infusion was Dec 16, 2020, with the 21 day cadence. My last two blood tests prior to infusion showed my PSA jumping up again. I wasn't worried about my PSA rising as the fine gentlemen on this forum have stated that PSA may go up do to dying cells. MO told me "it's not working so we're

psa fluctuation on taxotere
I started my 3rd round of
taxotere
yesterday and they tested my psa . Before the chemo I have 3 rounds of SBRT which dropped my psa from 60 to 16. After my 1st round of chemo my psa dropped from 16 to 13,4 yesterday my psa was back up to 15.1. Should I be panicking that the chemo is not working.
