Rick I had minimal side effects from Chemo (Taxotere). A little hair loss, and "chemo brain" following each treatment. Radiation caused some bowel distress but after final treatment, it has begun to...
Hi Good luck as you journey this road we all wish we didn't have to travel! I would encourage you (as well as anyone else) to visit with an Oncologist in addition to your Urologist. My personal...
Hi Good luck with the choice you and your husband have to make. I found an aggressive Oncologist who treated me with both Chemo and Hormones, then followed up with Radiation. I was very lucky in that...

By the way- I discussed your situation with the oncologist I am using- her main comment was that you consider taking action as soon as there is any movement in your PSA- and not necessarily wait for...
