Has any one on here on the forum been treated with the combo of Cabizitaxel/ Carboplatin? Husband received results of latest scans today and tumors have progressed. He has had some back pain, discomfort when eating, etc. No bone mets. But, they do want him to start this treatment regimen in the morning. He did 6 rounds of Taxotere/Carboplatin last March-June(2014). Sept.PSA began to rise slightly. Began Zytiga/Xtandi in Nov. along w/ Lupron. Scans Nov.&Mar. Showed Mixed response. Now with these symptoms and progression on scans including small mets showing up on lungs. I have not seen too much on this combo of chemo. Worried about side effects. He tolerated the Taxotere/Carbo. Pretty good. Fatigue, flue symptoms, hair loss, neoropothy. But all resolved accept Anemia after treatment stopped.
I know everyone reacts differently. Is their something less toxic that I could ask about? Tall Allen looking for your input, please.
