Paper published about my vaccine treatment

This is a paper being published about my case through my first 12 APCEDEN vaccines I had made in India by APAC Biotech. Some of it is pretty technical but the PSMA PET scans show the regression. I was dx’d in August, 2014 with about 20 lymph node Mets up to my neck with a 212 PSA and Gleason 9 that was what The Cleveland Clinic restaged it as when I went there for a second opinion. It says 8 in the paper because I didn’t have the report from Cleveland. I did have Keytruda added in July, 2018, and did Xtandi for almost two years before stopping it a month ago. My SUV barely budged no matter what was added after the initial regression of around 30 tumors so it was collectively agreed that removing my prostate was the best course of action. That was in September of 2019 after being stable for two years. My immune system couldn’t get rid of the primary although the pathology after surgery showed some of the tumor as benign and out of both seminal vesicles and negative for malignancy everywhere else so they believe it was contained. Gleason was 3+2 for a 5 at pathology. Am at 5 months NED, and last PSA and testosterone was .05 and 850 ten days ago. With combinations with their vaccines they are getting some excellent responses. Best part besides saving my life is there are no side effects.

Thanks Allen. Hopefully it holds for awhile. Nobody really knows.

I had a hunch it might help me since TVAX vaccines cleared it from my bones for renal cell carcinoma 24 years ago. Definitely wish I could have done the vaccines at the outset like they did when I had TVAX. The immunologist from TVAX, Dr Gary Wood suggested to try to find a true autologous dendritic cell vaccine, and if possible combine it with something else. Just happened to find it in Delhi, Beijing and Germany. Couldn’t afford Germany. Most doctors speak English in India so India it was.

Hey Fuzz,

It is private pay and there are no placebos. No idea what it costs now? It was around 25K when I did it but that was for 12 vaccines. I may have needed only six however, but I chose to have 12 made

So I assume you stayed in India for three months? Also, did they use tissue collected from biopsy to prepare the vaccine? Seems like that might not be a lot of tissue for purpose of vaccine.....

Yes, they use the tissue from the biopsy. It’s enough tissue because they can multiply it in the lab somehow.

Hello Fuzz, forgot to ask, did you carry your vaccines back with you on the plane or did you do all in India?Also did they supplement with any other treatments besides dendritic?

The first ones so did all in India. Now you are able bring them back with you. Since they are in large, very well respected hospitals now you are able to get a “free to fly” prescription. I have what I have left in my basement on liquid nitrogen. Very easy to give yo yourself. It’s just sub q.

Hi,

It looks like some of the doctors are at Baylor. Were you treated in India or in the US?

Hi Hope. Dr, William K Decker is the immunologist from Baylor consulting in cases like mine being done in India. IThe National Cancer Institute of India approved a glioblastoma trial using the double loaded vaccine for120 patients. I was treated in New Delhi. No side effects since it’s self. I think the price has gone up but APACBiotech is easy to Google. All the paperwork to bring it back is done through the oncologist there.

This is another paper about a guy that had the same APCEDEN vaccines as me that resolved his bone mets. I have heard there are others too. No a lot, just a few, but they haven’t treated that many with prostate.
