Thanks Phil. I have read so much about AR-V7; I found a great article that said doctors sometimes prescribe the abi an lupron anyhow; the the Docetaxel. We shall see. It is just a long treatment just to learn he will have to start another. He is 82.

@ellen45 Yes, it’s daunting after all he’s been through.
It’s usually 6 infusions and the SE’s vary greatly from one person to the next.
As with most chemo drugs, the idea is to kill the cancer before you kill the patient- let’s face it, these are cellular poisons!
However, I DO recollect at least one member on the forum who was very debilitated and was ready to throw in the towel; he did a course of docetaxel and did quite well.
