Aww doesn't sound good at all, My husband did docetaxel last summer and hair came back by Christmas time. He did really well overall, was tired most days- the tiredness kicks in day 3 I think it was (the day before and the day after he was the energizer bunny from the Prednisone) then he'd feel like crap for a good week, then fine for a week and then back for another round! (He got a strange side effect from the Prednisone- hiccups!! for like 45 min and nothing helped until a friend said to breathe into a paper bag until you can't stand it anymore! it helped but he had to do it each time or when he woke up at night, the hiccups would start again)
It's not in his liver but was stage 4 everywhere else in his body it seemed! (bones, spine, lungs, pelvis, lymph nodes and of course prostate) Now it's a lot less- still in those spots but not as big and most medium spots have disappeared, but there's a handful of stubborn spots still left.
He eats pretty perfectly and exercises every day and tried to stay active around the house.
How's your husband feeling?
Has he been offered Pluvicto or other drugs? Radiation?
What's his PSA now and what was it to start?
hugs

@beaquilter thank you for the information. Sorry for the tardy response. I was helping triage hubbys symptoms and side effects from cycle 1 earlier. Now on day 17. Trying to get him to regain most of the weight loss prior to start of cycle 2 next week.

Hope both of you are hanging in. May I ask if there are any follow ups w Pluvicto or other treatments following docetexal? My husband completed docetexal early December 2025. They are going to do focal radiation on 2 lesions on the spine from this past weeks MRI while he is on chemo…
