Taxotere for HRPC at 35mg/m2 fortnightly

Not too many here are dealing with hrpca advanced PCa, maybe a few. Are you also using Zometa for bone density or assistance, which is very commonly used along with this??? Have you already used or considered: ketoconazole, des, emcyt, estradiol patch to see if they are effective? Are you familar with www.hrpca.org
website and Howard Hansen?? You or others can find more answers there for such things.
There are others here that if you wanna talk shop or vent, etc., are very good at support and helpfulness.

(Dx 2002- I current use DES and have intermittently for like 4 + yrs.)

Can you elaborate on how long keto might have worked and side effects you had and on DES usually the side effects are tenderness of boobs or enlargement of them which can be counter-acted, unless you are perhaps with high risk clotting factors or did not use coumadin blood thinner or such???? Curisous on that. What can you tell us about Cyclophosphamdie? Sorry to ask so much, but like the questions you have too, it is hard to find alot of examples and talk to enough people on such. Others can learn from such experiences or be informed on things that could be rather important along the journey.

Thanks.

I was on Taxotere and Avastin as part of clinical trial for high risk localized PCa prior to surgery. Six cycles. Tumor shrunk about 30%, so did PSA. Side effects were quite tollerable.
