I agreed to a 6 dose regimen of docetaxel. I had to stop after 5. It completely drained me of strength, food tasted horrible, and most of all I have suffered partial blindness as a result of extremely low blood pressure. Be wary of this poison and have your docs monitor you very closely.
Remind your docs that "you" are always at the end of the needle...not them.
My husband had six rounds of docetaxel in 2016 after new spinal lesions started cropping up too fast to treat them only with spot radiation. He had the usual chemo side effects, which were at their worst in week one after the infusion, and which got better over the next two weeks--until it was time for the next infusion. He had no serious side effects such as the ones described by sillyoyster above, and the docetaxel reduced his PSA to undetectable for a long time. Everyone reacts differently to cancer medications, so do discuss the pros and cons of docetaxel with your oncologist, and don't dismiss it out of hand. It is very effective for many men.

Thank you for your reply. I too never had any of the severe things mentioned above, and I also received Carboplatin. A lot of stage four prostate cancer patients have received Docetaxel But few have received Carboplatin with it, which makes it tougher and those were the people I was wanting to hear from.

Sorry if my post wasn't helpful to you since my husband has not had carboplatin yet. But I didn't want the post by silly oyster to discourage people from docetaxel if their oncologist recommends it.

Yes, I agree. I too know people that have had just Docetaxel and done quite well. I had all 6 doses of it plus the Carboplatin and never had anything severe happen. Thank You for your reply.
Alguien que haya recibido una combinación de Docetaxel mas Darolutamida me podría indicar que resultados se han obtenido . En mi caso voy para la sesión 5 de 6 y el PSA cuando inicie era de 10.02 y a la fecha este está en 14 , la idea era rebajarlo según indicaciones de mi Médica Oncóloga Clínica siendo clasificado con : CPRCnm y clasificado con progresión bioquímica , de ahí la formulación de Darolutamida de 300 mg con una dosis de 2 tabletas cada 12. horas
