Provenge failure 2nd time

Have experienced Provenge cell collection failure twice, first time failed, second time was successful with a successful infusion, third time again failed in the cell collection process.

Have two complications which may affect this one is I’m on prednisone 10 Mg daily for another situation, and I also have Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) affects bone marrow. Also experience significant blood pressure spikes, over 200, Dr. believes that related to treatment

My questions:

1.Any experience with this type of collection problem?

2. Any success after two failures?

3. Any suggested questions for follow-up with Dr. tomorrow?

4. Any other thoughts?

This is the positive wellbeing in isolation forum so people may not have the knowledge to reply. Maybe search in healthunlocked for the forum relating to your condition Provenge as there is a forum. Sorry I cant be of more help. Hope you get some advice. Ali
