Just had cabazitaxel infusion five. PSA dropped a bit more to 6.1 during the fourth cycle, but that is still a bit above where it was before I started on this regime. CT scan due on 23rd, followed by MDT consideration, possibly before radiologist's report is available. I suppose it is mathematically possible to get close to zero PSA after ten cycles, as although progress is slow on this regime, it does seem to be speeding up. The scan will be revealing. May be followed by a liver biopsy if patch on liver appears to be growing still.
Side effects in fourth cycle much as previously, but because I have this tendency to nausea as a result of my inner ear problem and hiatus hernia, it is a bit difficult to apportion blame! Taste for wine and beer rather dulled by the drugs, which is the really serious side effect. On the other hand, boy, will I appreciate them when I've finished the ten cycles! Half way there now!
