Lab results and visit to the medonc today. Gary started on xtandi less then two weeks ago; three days after his last round of docetaxil. This is second go round, but first time following chemo. PSA dropped over 100 points already, and after he had seen two consecutive rises. Now that's a trend we'll take and a nice Christmas gift! smurf

That's amazing! It seems to be true that taxanes can sometimes reverse Xtandi/Zytiga resistance. Great news!
