Xtandi failure
PSA went from 30 to 32 over 12 weeks since starting Xtandi, post docetaxel and concurrent
Provenge
. Looking for guidance on discontinuing Xtandi and moving on to Xofigo, give it more time or some other treatment. Was castrate resistant 8 months post diagnosis and while on docetaxel and lupron.

Is Provenge a Money Maker for the Doctors?
Is
Provenge
a money maker for the doctors? Does the drug company place representatives in the Doctor's practice? I felt like I was talking to a sales person over the phone.

Intro
Have tried taxotere (didn't work),
Provenge
and Xtandi. On to Xofigo if PSA still not decreasing on Xtandi. Minimal pain for past year and still very active. PSA nadir of 12 in October, now 32. Two very young kids at home.

I really want to try one of the immunotherapies either
Provenge
or one of the trial drugs. I'm trying to get into a trial, but without much luck.

Bob's Journey
Twelve years later I've had nearly all the available treatments - ADT, Leukine, Thalidomide, Curcumin,
Provenge
, Zytiga, Xtandi, Taxotere chemo, Xofigo and more chemo. I'm still here though very much weakened by the T deprivation. My QoL is pretty good, thanks to my wonderful wife.

Provenge vs Radium 233
They have called me up and said that he will be getting
Provenge
. There is no discussion. I asked about Radium 223. They told me that it is only used for pain management. Is the decision this cut and dry? Is
Provenge
the more effective treatment as compared to Radium 223?

I then chose "off label"
Provenge
treatment. Meanwhile, before RT I started Lupron and Casodex. Now I take Trelstar which is every 6 months. Continece good until about 9 months ago. Light bouts with proctitis. Resolved by taking fiber.

Living with it!
Lupron worked for 1 year and then I had to wait until the scans would show that lymph nodes were involved and then I became a candidate for
Provenge
. Did the
Provenge
treatment, added Eligard, Xtandi and Celibrex in 2014.

CY 10 he received
Provenge
therapy, followed by Xtandi. CY 11 he had IXofigo, intravenous radiation. A bone scan indicated multiple ares of increased uptake (more mets).

Living with Metastatic Prostate Cancer
Things like Chemotheraphy, Radium 223,
Provenge
or Radiation did not appear to be a good alternative looking at risk/reward. They did mention trials of which one sounded hopeful which was a bone marrow transplant, of course its just a theory they have at this time.
