Hey Steve. I also have 4 B that has spread to Pelvic region, Femurs, Lymph nodes, back etc. I have been looking for alternative treatments to docetaxel, but there does not seem to be alternative treatment. I made appt to go to MD Anderson in Houston but thinking there is no silver bullet.

I had excellent results with the docetaxel, Nubeqa and Eligard chemo treatment, no surgery or radiation. After the six docetaxel treatments I had only two tiny cancer spots remaining. Another PET scan and MRI scheduled for next Wednesday. My oncologist thinks the two remaining spots may be gone. If not he say's they can be easily removed with radiation. Worst side effect from docetaxel was feeling extremely bloated for many hours after eating very small portions of food. This was easily remedied by taking Prilosec OTC, a heartburn medication that can be purchased at any pharmacy, Walmart, Target & etc.

Best wishes,
Steve

I visited MD Anderson last week for second opinion. I have Stage 4 advanced mCRPC. My oncologist there told me their front line treatments there are docetaxel and Pluvicto, which are treatments that are already available to me now. There may be a clinical trial that you would qualify for.

He did suggest that I have genetic testing that may produce info that may aid treatment.

I like the idea that I also have a MD Anderson oncologist that I can consult with in the future.

Best of luck

Best of luck on your journey to MD Anderson and much success!
