Hello All,
Is there anybody on docetaxel and taking oral chemotherapy alongside? If so, can you let me know the name of the oral drug?
I have been offered docetaxel as third line treatment but have forgotten the name of the other drug that the Doc said.
Not wanting to accept this treatment yet as just had biopsy to see if targeted treatment is an option, tho they are not optimistic and also asked if I could have radiotherapy on the adrenal gland as this is the only one that has grown on the scan (left adrenal and lung stable).
Also, if anyone knows, would they offer clinical trials ahead of having docetaxel or do I have to exhaust all other avenues before trials?
Many thanks
Karen
