Provenge Advice
PSA climbed to 2.1 in Dec. 2019 and Oncologist suggested
Provenge
before we consider Zytiga or another second tier drug. I was just notified that insurance has approved the
Provenge
treatment. It seems I am going with the catheter approach for the collection and infusion (difficult veins).

What to do next for treatment
He mentioned also Radium 223 which he wasn't a big fan of (doesn't follow PSA or CT scans for that matter) and
Provenge
which he said was more for slow growing cancer. I am 73 now just looking for answers.

Finished Provenge
I finished
Provenge
treatment 2 weeks ago and I saw my Onc earlier today and said my PSA had creeped up to 2.7 from 1.6. My CAT and Bone scans were stable-no progression (woo hoo).

***Good Visit"""
Prednisone, 6 month Eligard, Xgeva injection which were stopped three months now due to Calcium drop,
Provenge
infusions back in June. I'm also waiting on results of my genetic testing to get more refined results of the Cancer.

177Lu+225Ac or 177Lu?
He has had ADT,
Provenge
, was successfully on Abi+-ARN509 trial for 3 years, 10 cycles of docetaxel, treatment holiday, then restart of docetaxel but switch to cabazitaxel after 3 rounds due to progression in bone and lung. His last PSA rose to 48 from 41.

"Oligomatastic", "Remission", & "Cure"--The Power of Words.
Chemotherapy, castration and concern were my life…and then
Provenge
and Xtandi. So for the last 4 years I have heard nothing that gave me a glimmer of hope for living more than 3 to 5 years. My oncologist never gave me eye contact. Going out on a limb.

Completed LuPSMA Vision Trial. I hope my journey encourages someone on this site.
Treatments have included 45 radiation treatments, Zytiga and prednisone,
Provenge
, 20 Docetaxel chemo treatments and then the Lu PSMA Clinical Trial with Xtandi. I am posting this to give encouragement to anyone who has been recently diagnosed with this disease and is feeling hopeless.

Down the metabolomics rabbit hole with zest
So apparently high levels of citrate keep the prostate tissue in a good happy place.hmmm, Also this has me thinking with my tin foil hat on about
Provenge
..., one of the big side effects I learned about
Provenge
was the immediate side effects of Citrate (toxicity), apparently very high levels of citrate

Provenge Cost
Was working with Dr. to qualify for
Provenge
, was told to praise the last month or so had doubled from $93,000-$180,000. In my situation believe my insurance will cover if approved. Has anyone else heard the same cost increase.

Everything is coming together for Provenge!
Not long ago I posted asking for advice on paying the copay for
Provenge
for my daddy. I was told that it was going to be about $23,000! I honestly didn't let that discourage me.

What to expect from chemo, if doesn't work what is next?
He was to do
Provenge
however developed large clot in jugular so the doctor was afraid to try the
Provenge
so decided to go on the chemo directly. I am petrified at this point, so far he has kept going, still exercising, but I always thought chemo was the end...thanks all

Not Qualified For Xofigo
Anderson in NJ and said I am not qualified for
Provenge
. I do not have the symptoms such as bone pain, lack of appetite, unable to sleep, fatigue, change in bowel movements, urination problems, etc. The doc strongly recommends
Provenge
which i strongly support.

Provenge With steroids
Looking at doing
Provenge
, MO said that in the trials those taking Steroids were excluded. I am on 10 MG prednisone daily for a different problem. A perspective or evidence that would suggest
Provenge
may not be affected by the steroids?
