Dad started this 3 weeks ago, was told this is the last treatment he can have! is this true?. Was told next he could go on a trial course in London (royal marsdon) we live in Bristol. Dad had 1st dose 3 weeks ago (2nd yesterday) and PSA went up from 655.1 to 804.6 crap start. Did read you can get a flare up at the start but only 20% get that. Seems obvious to me it's not working. Anyone else have Cabazitaxel and flare up in psa?. I doubt i'll get an answer because if this is the last treatment no one will be alive to answer now. I've had enough in and out of hospital almost daily for 2 years watching dad slowly come to a nasty painful end. If Cabazitaxel was going to work any good it would obviously come down after 1st dose not up!.
cheers anyone who bothers to answer.
