Ask your doctor about docetaxel, combination of the 3 shows much better results

By better results do you mean less side effects? I am on Erleada and Zoladex and my PSA is undetectable but I'm tired all the time. What might docetaxel do for me?

REPLY

I am on Erleada plus Zoladex injections and have the same problem with feeling tired. Sometimes I sleep for 15 hours a day but still feel tired.

Husband starting chemo this week- any advice? He’s still working full time, worried it’s too much

I had to go on disability because I worked for 7up which was a physical job. I had the worst type, aggressive prostate cancer. I worked for awhile after the prosectomy but then found out I had serious bone mets on the back my neck and spine that were crumbling. Many spots on my rib cage. That's when the chemo began and my doctors recommended that I go on disability because of everything. They supplied all the necessary forms and I was approved quickly. Thankfully the Mets on my neck and spine healed thanks to xgeva. I can't lift anything heavy. I ts an ongoing battle but chemo does knock you for a loop. Urinary incontinence is also a problem. Everyone is different but look into everything and decide for yourselves. Good luck.

I’ve been on it 4 months, couldn’t tell any difference when it was added to my Leuprolide and chemotherapy.

Has anyone taken Nubeqa? How well did it work, and any side effects?.

I have been in Nubeqa for 12 month now, other than very little hot flashes (drink soy milk to reduce side effects) no other side effect! No fatigue, go for it with confidence

That is the book that I bought and I don’t think that there is a newer version. Amazon has a 3 set series of diet, smoothy and something else of Milken’s diet books for $41 and that is what I purchased and we are still digesting the recipes. My wife and I are following the principles of the recipes and diet but making some variations to make the preparation a bit easier but not so much easier as to negate the diet to fight cancer. Best of Luck!
