Hi Phil,
Good to hear you're managing the docetaxel okay 2nd time around.
Think we will be getting chemo for my husband,. He had abiraterone and when it stopped working, he was tested for BRCA 2 and was positive so is currently on olaparib.
Worked for about 8 months but psa has been going up since February this year and last week a lymph node in his neck swollen to a big size. It's been confirmed as cancer but waiting to see if it is prostate spread. They think it's likely.
Appt with onc this week and dreading him having to have chemo again but he did mange docetaxel okay last time.
I had read BRCA 2 positive men sometimes are better with Cabazitaxel or carboplatin but I don't know for sure?
After your chemo, have they said what happens, do you just stay on hormones only?
