Taxotere - 14.8 week (kh) A few days before the next infusion. My ANC came in at 220 on Tuesday's blood pull. According to my graphs, it's probably over 2,000 (Saturday) and climbing. I've got persisting side effects. None of it is beyond anyone's ability to tolerate but it is a nuisance. Exhaustion, fatigue - I'm sleeping 8-9 hour... 2 Aug 2008 15:37

I was so surprised, that I said, 'Oh, dear me', this being the regular lot of any NHS patient seeing 'their' consultant. My new doc went about seeing what trials might be available to fit me... 4 Aug 2008 16:43
[?] Anyone using an Artificial Urinary Sphincter? Hi, I'm 67 years of age, living near London, England, and had a DaVinci robotic prostatectomy in a large London hospital 12 months ago. The four PSA tests that I've had at 3 monthly intervals to date have all come back 'undetectable' so the operation itself was undoubtedly a success, but I am still ... 31 Jul 2008 14:27
Prostate cancer patients undergoing hormone therapy may experience cognitive effects I can say that in my case HDT did produce - what others have called - a "mental fog". Fortunately for me this was the first side effect to clear up on going intermittent. I can now solve Rubik's cubes and complete sudoku puzzles and like anything. (Interestingly enough my spellchecker suggests "seduce" as t... 31 Jul 2008 02:08
