I just wanted to stop by to let you know we have a section on our website dedicated to treatment for advanced prostate cancer which I think may be useful to you at this time. To find out more just click here.
We also had a discussion on the forum a few years ago where a member detailed their experience with radium 223 which I have included here for you to have a look at as well.
I hope you find these links useful but if you do have any further questions or would just like a chat with someone about your treatment options do give our cancer nurses a call next week. They're available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on 0808 800 4040 (freephone).
I have no idea about radium, but doxcetaxel, I have I had six treatments of this and side effects can vary with each individual, I can only tell you of mine.
Hair loss, fatigue and tiredness, loss of taste, some diahorrea, scratchy or slightly blurred eyes, tingly fingers and feet ( like pins and needles but not as harsh ) bone pain but that does get better, and you have to be very carefull as your red blood cells are low and your open to infection.
