Husband prostate cancer metastasized to liver non small cell
Hi all. Like all, it’s been tough. Husband currently has liver metastasis non small cell and will start carboplatin and cabazitaxel chemo tomorrow. Non psma uptake. Also has some bone lesions and lymph nodes. Went through 10 rounds Docetaxal last one 12/3/25. Would love to read folks experience with this and also be directed to all chats relevant. After the 10th round hospitalized and treated for pjp and neutropenia. Doing all maintenance doses of meds to minimize effects this time. Appreciate all input and direction. We are in N Virginia and he is being treated at Schar Cancer Center. Many thanks,

I am really sorry to hear that 😔.
Unfortunately I do not know much about liver metastasis but just wanted to try and "bump" this question up so other members with more experience might see it.
Sending you hugs and wishing your husband a complete healing from PC mets in very near future. 🍀

2 ReactionsI am so sorry to hear that. I know some hospitals break up liver mets with ultrasound, but I don't know how effective it is, or if it is suitable in your husband's condition.

1 ReactionWanted to bring this back to the top of the support forum. Thanks to all the support. 1st chemo cocktail scheduled today for my husband. We will forge ahead. A very wise oncology vet yes vet once said to me and I will share and always keep the advice with me, “stay the course”. And we will stay the course till it changes……
In the limited time of my reading the support group chats, I have learned a lot. All of you are compassionate and wonderful people. God bless. I too will chip in and share any side effects that my husband experiences……this may be helpful to someone searching for information

1 ReactionAww 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
Thank you everyone for your support. Liver lesions not a candidate for Pluvicto. He was scheduled for it. The lesions did not display any PSMA uptake. Thank you.
