Hello Everyone, Happy New Year wishes to you all.
I am looking for some advice, Dad will have his 9th of 10 Taxotere treatments on the 15th December, his side effects have been slight PSA is now 500+ and going up.
I have arranged to accompany Dad on his next consultation to find out what his options are once he stops the Taxotere.
Is there anyone out there who can advise as to what treatment they had after Taxotere, what is considered best, your experiences on follow up treatment. Also do you have to have a break before starting a new course of chemotherapy.
I guess what I am asking is for your experiences and advice on what to do next. Dad will be the one to make the choice but I need as much information to pass on to make sure he is able to make an informed choice. This is his life and the choices are his. The only way I can help with this is to find out as much as I can and to ask the consultant the right questions.
Best wishes to you all
Theresa
