PSA drop after Provenge.
On 6/24/2019 with a PSA of 0.9, I started
Provenge
. 14 days later my PSA jumped up to 1.4. Again, 14 days (7/26/2019) later my PSA jumped to 2.4, I freaked. Today has been one month since my third and last
Provenge
infusion.

Jevtana and carboplatin combo..where to go after
He wasn’t a candidate for
Provenge
. I guess I’m looking for what to expect next.

Hi there, I’m still game to hear any off-the-Top-of-your-head questions that you’d pose after being told by both your local doc and your researcher doc at Duke that what you’ve got left to work with is Chemo,
Provenge
, and Xofigo.

Verify then trust, not vice versa; energy issues
Well, today the doc gave us an overview of Xofigo,
Provenge
, and chemo, and told my dad to start taking Xtandi again, at a lower dose (he’d been taking 4 tablets daily, with some balance issues). Hmmm maybe the nurse mgr was just having a super bad day?

To Provenge or not?
My research MO says forget
Provenge
, it’s efficacy is questionable. Consider a clinical trial involving abiraterone plus “X.” But this means waiting until PSA hits 2.0 for most clinical trials. Why should I wait until PSA is >2.0? We know I am now castrate resistant. And why not
Provenge
?

Help me ask
They apparently agree on the remaining options for my Dad: chemo,
Provenge
, Xofigo. It was a bummer to hear the onco tell me that Dr. A said we didn’t need to come see him now...we like Dr. A so much and I obviously had been feeling very hopeful that he might have something to offer us.

What to do after chemo?! Immunotherapy trials!?
Does anyone know of any trials for Immunotherapy (
Provenge
, check point inhibitors etc) he could get in at this time? Does anyone have any additional advice on how to beat this darn thing back? Many heart felt thanks and love to all those fighting, Karyn

Docetaxel rechallenge
I'm finishing my
Provenge
treatment this week and being that my psa is on the rise, (0.9), I'm at a crossroads. Does anyone have a Docetaxel rechallenge story to share? Thank you.

What scan should I get?
Now finishing my 3rd and final
Provenge
infusion. MO tells me we will meet one month after final
Provenge
infusion to map out a game plan. What game plan? What scan should I ask for to find out where my cancer is at? What second line treatment seems like the way to go?

Survival rates for having PCa and bone metastasis???
Had
Provenge
immunotherapy treatment in March 2019. Continuing on Lupron/Eligard. Now on Olaparib, PARP inhibitor. Latest PSA <0.01. I am trying my best to keep ahead of this disease, and will continue to research all viable options. I plan on beating the odds that are stacked against me.

Stage 4 Prostate cancer
My initial PSA was 1,882 Since then I did 6 rounds of chemo, 3 rounds of
Provenge
. I am presently taking Casodex (daily) and Lupron every 6 months. I also take 600 mg of calcium 2 times a day. I try to eat good.

Cabazitaxel,Cytoxan or Comfort Care after dismissal from Lu PSMA Vision Trial
Since then, we have been through
Provenge
, Zytiga, Xstandi, Docetaxel (5 sessions), and he still is receiving Lupron and Xgeva. Out of all the treatments, only the Docetaxel's side effects became unbearable and I am quite certain he would have died if he stayed on it.

***17 Months***
Gordon Brown: My treatment so far have been Zytiga, Prednisone, Eligard,Xgeva for bone Mets, and most recently three rounds of
Provenge
. I have been 0.1 since first month treatment. I was in extreme pain at my first visit which has subsided to nearly nothing.

New Here
Just finished
Provenge
. PSA still undetectable. Oncologist has been throwing "everything" at it. This doesn't even take into account the three TURPs to clean out my urethra. Last week had a check up and we seem to have things "under control." Only side effect is hot flashes.

Long Overdue Update
His PSA is down to 1.5, and we are seeing a Dr at the Siteman Center in St Louis who will be starting him on
Provenge
July 15th, after which they hope to have a trial recruiting again that he thinks could benefit Joe. So- that’s where we are. I am terrified right now. I’m falling asleep crying.

Of Werewolves, Vampires, Leukine and the Like
What would be needed would be a
Provenge
booster which I found. I called Dendreon to speak with the chief pharmacist. At first, there was confusion over the study I cited: she wasn't familiar with it. However, I finally found out that Dendreon had had its own study of a booster for
Provenge
.
