Docetaxel and steroids, how did you feel?

I finished the chemo part, 10 rounds about 18 months ago. It's kind of a blur at this point. I was 68 at the time, age probably plays a part in it. As treatment went on, it wore me down big time. Everything slowed down. I'm stage 4, in the bones, psa at the beginning was 932. For me at the time, anything they could do to make the pain I had, stop was good by me. The chemo ride will have it's up and downs but he can do it. I didn't find this wonderful site until a year after starting treatment. It has been a blessing for me, knowing we are not alone on our journey. Best to all.

Win the fight!!!

My husband is stage 4 as well and all over his body, bones, lungs, lymph nodes etc... though he's not in pain! He's 55 and hit and healthy otherwise, now doing a totally vegan diet, he allowed fish and occasional chicken or steak before, but no carbs, now he's added carbs/oatmeal in the morning and some beans to his "salad"
I'm waiting for his hair to fall out soon, it's been 9 days now since first chemo infusion.
