Hyper thermic exposure to improve chemo activity
Three years on chemo, first Docetaxel then to
Jevtana
. Now back to Docetaxel on a weekly cycle. Found some info on hyperthermic treatments to make the chemo active on the tumor sites ie. hot tub or sauna after chemo to get more blood flowing. Any comments?

Entered Hospice at age 45. 21 months after diagnosis.
After 4 rounds of
Jevtana
, cancer swiftly invaded liver (numerous tumors throughout) and bone marrow. Platelets and H and H dipped dangerously low and Ex developed a subdural hematoma.

Radium 223
I've read some posts here on it as well as others but feel this is my best option after checking relevant trials & chemo (
Jevtana
) as alternatives. Will remain on quarterly Lupron and will need to see if Oncolgist wants me to stay on XGeva quarterly.

Given another 18 months of life if continue treatment. Starting cabazitaxel this week. Side effects?
He reluctantly decided on
Jevtana
and external beam radiation even though he had a difficult time with docetaxel. Anyone have more side effects with cabazitaxel than with docetaxel? We are not that thrilled with
Jevtana
as his PSA only climbed and bone mets got worse while on docetaxel.

Jevtana and Prednisone....why?????
Anyone on
Jevtana
? Does it make a difference if you use it with prednisone??? I don't want to use a steroid. Also, I would rather not use more than one drug at a time so I can see what is working, but my doctor insists.

Prednisone
In yesterday's thread on "
Jevtana
and Prednisone", no mention was made of the potential effect of prednisone on the cancer. In fact, Eric wrote that: "prednisone in itself does nothing to stop or slow the cancer".

I have been feeling very fatigued lately and I had to stop my
Jevtana
chemo at this moment (2 months) because of neutropenic fever which landed me in the hospital for over 12 days.

Mrs. Tom-36
CY 12 he began more chemotherapy (
Jevtana
) followed 24 hours later by an injection of Neulasta and an injection of Procrit when his hemoglobin count has been too low. Megestrol Oral suspension (40mg) has been prescribed for lack of appetite and has been effective.
