Discussing Chemo Treatment: What has your journey been like?
I'm new here, I finished, for now, 10 rounds of chemo last October. Not sure if group is up to discussing their journey through the treatment. I want to give people a chance to discuss the process but not discourage others from using it as an option. I will wait for responses before saying any more.

What previous treatments had you completed that made you eligible for chemo?
Which chemo did you have (docetaxel, cabazitaxel, etc.)?
I had severe pain in my left leg, had x-rays and MRI showing cancer, PSA at that time was 932, and they started me on chemo, docetaxel.
I just got the news of having to do chemo. 3 rounds of Pluvicto did not work, now doceteaxel. PSA 736 Wondering about the ice gloves and booties
@ajpernsteiner, it looks like you and @stevecando54 are on the same chemo regimen.
Here are a couple of discussions in the Cancer: Managing Symptoms support group about ice gloves and boots.

@ajpernsteiner, when do you start chemotherapy?
