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.

Cheers Excavator ,
I've read your blog that you sent the link for . Thanks again , always good to hear someone else's experiences .
I've just started my new treatment 5 days ago and am keeping a daily journal which I may edit and upload in future . At this moment , 5 days in I'm a bit knackered but ploughing on .....
All the best , and hope you're well .
William
