Hello everyone ,

This is my first post online . Thank you to everyone who has posted previously . There has   been a lot of information posted that has been very useful to me . Thank you .

I have a question now that I can't find any threads for .

I'm about to start second line  chemotherapy treatment with DOCETAXEL and NINTEDANIB  .  . My first line treatment was with PEMETREXED and CARBOPLATIN  which was helpful initially but not anymore .

Does anyone have any personal experience with DOCETAXEL and NINTEDANIB they would share with me ?

My first chemotherapy treatment was progressively more difficult BUT manageable .

  • Hello William R,

    I had 6 cycles of docetaxel last year for recurrent prostate cancer (my first cancer was lung treated successfully so far with surgery and chemo 11 years ago). I wrote a blog on here documenting my docetaxel experience which can be found through the link below and might be of general interest to you for information purposes.

    Now approaching 1 year after completion the one remaining side effect is slight numbness and discomfort of finger ends which may well be permanent.

    I don't have experience of nintedanib.

    I wish you all the very best for successful treatment.
