Moving to Pluvicto. Waiting on a call.
More Docetaxel stuff.
One place I read Docetaxel can age you 10-13 years. It does.
76 tomorrow, I look late 80's, and did NOT when I was still on Talzenna and Xtandi.
The other is cardiac.
Read a lot of somewhat conflicting stuff, most talks about cardiac issues.
Two months before diagnosis, I happened to have a full cardiac workup.
EKG, pictures of heart and arteries, chemical stress test and down the hall for repeat pictures and EKG.
I was declared fine, no calcifications, no nothing.
Last PSMA PET scan 4 days ago showed some calcification issues. Not sure long term.
"Atherosclerotic vascular calcifications are present in the carotid arteries."
"There is atherosclerotic calcification in the aorta and iliac arteries without aneurysm."
Maybe I'll die WITH PC rather than OF PC!
Still feel like crxp, two weeks in to last Docetaxel cycle.

Try some white button mushroom extract powder. Put 1/5 teaspoon in coffee or tea daily. In your case this is worth a try. I ve been on this for a year now. PSA remains .< .01

I just want to point out that not every patient has extreme side effects from docetaxel. I don't want anyone to refuse it out of hand if your provider recommends it. Please consider giving it a try--my husband didn't have bad side effects, and it kept his Stage 4 cancer suppressed for years.
