A last update on this thread. My oncologist has taken me off cabazitaxel after five cycles as the primary leasion about which he was concerned (in my liver) has shown significant growth since my last scan in December. So the drug, to coin a phrase "just ain't cutting it". Next step is an urgent biopsy, within days, to find out just what is going on in my liver. Seems unlikely to be prostate cancer. Could it be a recurrence of bladder cancer, last seen five or six years ago? Or something new? Meantime, no more three weekly visits for cabazitaxel but I stay on prednisolone, not that using that alone does anything about PCa, as my experience post-docetaxel showed. Oncologist not bothered about that as my PCa is not life limiting (his comforting words) but what is in my liver might be! I don't know my PSA from today's blood test yet, probably 5.something, but it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.
Onward and upward!
