Thanks for responding! Did not have carbon platinum with first round of docsataxel; my experience wasn't too bad; it's just the triple combination of xtandi, cabazitacel , carbon platinum side effects worries me, but he wants to be aggressive with this cancer. Again, thanks!

@brittdan You should be okay based on your chemo experience in the first round. As Jeff mentioned of the three drugs (Xtandi, Erleada, Nubeqa) most patients find Nubeqa has fewer side effects. They all do the same thing, about equally effective and expensive ($10K+ mth in USA). Your doctor probably will not mind the substitution. The chemo with the carbon platinum is required for effective treatment and you have already exhausted almost every treatment.
