After provenge
Finished
provenge

Axumin Study: Xofigo Working
I attribute the reduction in bone mets to Xofigo, but keep in mind that in the last three years I've been on Lupron and a variety of oral hormone therapy drugs (most recently Zytiga for the last nine months), have been treated with Taxotere and
Provenge
as well as adopting a dairy and meat-free diet.

Provenge
Came across an article that radiation could stimulate
provenge
. Third infusion was on 12-21. Felt pretty good and left doctor's office after one hour. Same symtoms with fatigue and chills. Got home, ate a light lunch and went to bed. I didn't feel too well Friday and it got worse Saturday.

Provenge - Supplements to activate modified cells or augment Provenge treatment
I just completed the three infusions of the
Provenge
treatment. As is seemingly common, my PSA rose modestly over the 6-week period. I understand this and that the ultimate benefits of
Provenge
(extended survival) may or may not occur at a later date.

Provenge
Finished second infusion. Side effects were similar to first infusion , but didn't last as long. I was walking around during the process and felt pretty good. During my 30 minute observation I got chills, dizziness, and nausea. Also , I was very fatigued, more so than first infusion. Blood pressure dropped

Provenge
Finished first round of
Provenge
. I was given benadril before starting infusion. After infusion I got chills, nausea,fatigue, and dizziness. My blood pressure dropped to 90/50 and it took about 5 hours to get back to normal. I was given demerol for the chills and tremors.

Lynparsa
My new treatment for prostate cancer will be
provenge
and lynparza. Got a call from Express Scripts that they don't cover lynparza for prostate cancer. Will talk to my oncologist on Monday to appeal this decision. Has anyone had this problem?

I will be going to
provenge
and olaparib in the next few weeks and hopefully not get any more spots on my spine. I have had Cyberknife radiation treatment for past spots.

Intro and Immunotherapy question
Any comments from those who have had
Provenge
would be appreciated. A trial is available which adds Yervoy (Ipilimumab) after the
Provenge
. If anyone has experience with this I would love to hear about it. The Signet Ring Cell type I have is rare and considered very aggressive.

Provenge
I have seen a few members discuss
Provenge
as I treatment, I have googled it extensively! When is the best time to use this treatment? Can I suggest it is used whilst I am on Zytiga and have a low PSA 0.1 or do you wait until later? Can it attack and destroy the cancer as it lays dormant.

Mechanism for Provenge suggested
That is to say that
Provenge
does not seem to have an effect on the activity of the Androgen Receptor as reflected by PSA.

what is the difference between car-t and provenge?
Provenge
is 3x, and car-t is 1x (i believe). $100k vs $400k but i didnt mean that.
