Radium 223 before Cabazitaxel?
This was prescribed today to manage bone pain and also because my PSA has not particularly responded to Docetaxel and the bone scan shows further cancer growth. There is some doubt as to whether more chemo will do any good. Has anyone had experience of doing things this way round? I assume I could

Is it possible for a stage of cancer to lower
Hi all, this may be a silly question but is it possible for the stage of cancer to change to a lower stage if treatment has been really successful? my husband is stage 4, Gleason 9 and has had hormones, chemo and radiotherapy. His oncologist is really happy with how he has responded and all sites

Carboplatin
Had a good year on Taxol and it knocked my CA15 down to almost normal but its creeping back up and my PET shows new activity. We discussed a ton of options and I am grateful there are so many. We also re-ran my original tumors through some more advanced genetic testing. The bottom line next drug is

Latest Update to Here We Go Again
I hope to be able to take an oral
chemotherapy
to prevent recurrence. I had liver cancer as my first cancer, and could not take tamoxifin because my liver wouldn't tolerate it. All in all, I am okay! Thank you for your responses that helped a great deal, and for the prayers!!

Memory loss with Docetaxel
In November when I posted for the first time you all were so very helpful in making suggestions to help my honey when he began his Docetaxel chemo treatments on December 1, 2022. Your advice about icing his feet and hands, I believe contributed to his having no neuropathy. He has now completed five

Timing of Chemo (Doxytaxel)
We have been snowed in for over two weeks and I had to reschedule my infusion which is supposed to be every three weeks. Now it looks like we might not be able to get out for the new appointment. How important is the timing of infusions? We need to know how much of an effort we need to make to get out

Mouth being sore is there any way to comfort this?
My mouth has begun to be sore the third day after chemo this time it’s has last almost up to the day to go back for another round of chemo. It’s very uncomfortable to eat and just the pain alone.

Just update. Got #5 yesterday. My psa was at 30 before this, so trending upward. Had radiation on hip 10 days before. Had psma scan after 2, saw some improvement. Boy, since diagnosed when psa was 1100, have gotten down to 5 (after chemo, then agin during zytiga). Maybe mine will always be elevated?

Peritoneal cancer with no visible disease
Hi everyone. I’m new here and am looking for information to help a close relative. She’s been given a diagnosis of primary peritoneal cancer. She presented with a pleural effusion and the cytology showed malignant cells consistent with an ovarian, tubal or peritoneal primary. However, there was nothing

Taxotere and fingerprints.
Here's a chemo side-effect I'd not heard mentioned here... 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. The skin
