Other Cancer Treatments - Any Impact on PCa?

This is a question that is unlikely to find a definitive answer, but I am curious, so I will ask.

As you can see, I also had colon cancer, just one year before my PCa dx. I had a right hemi-colectomy, and then 12 cycles of FOLFOX6 adjuvant chemo over 24 weeks. (Folfox6 is the usual chemo for colon cancer, and consists of a regimen of 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin and oxaliplatin.)

My question: my PCa was obviously already well developed during this time, only a year earlier. Could the Folfox chemo have had an effect on the PCa? (Positive or negative.) We know chemo generally attacks most fast-dividing cells (hence the impact on one's blood cells, for example). Since PCa is generally also in this category, I presume, it would have attacked the PCa. Or not?

I realise this is an hard question, but I was keen to hear if anyone has any views on this. I also realise this applies to relatively few people (thankfully), but I do know that there are others for who have had to deal with PCa and other cancers.

I'm going through adjuvant chemo right now following IMRT 79 gy and am on HT 2yrs starting June 2016. They are giving me docetaxel 4 cycles 3 weeks apart. My PSA has been steady at 0.02 for the past 2 months. Won't know if it will have an effect but some studies show it can give high risk guys a better chance for at least a longer to BCR or OS. Hope this helps.
