It's approved for mCRPC. Ask your oncologist.

I have been told by both my treating MO’s,,,one of whom from a very major public educational institution,,,that they believe of minimal value, implication being a waste of money. Perhaps 100,000 dollars for slim possibility of adding perhaps 4 months to OS.

Have you considered to opt for Provenge ? (since they’re now offering it at your place of treatment)
