Castration resistant prostate cancer
Due to a recent increase in my PSA, I will soon begin
Provenge
treatment. I have no pain and have, from the start of the Lupron injections, fought the SE's with exercise at a local gym. The hot flushes are another issue, as are the several bladder trips to the bathroom each night.

17 years of various treatments
He had the
Provenge
treatment in August-October, 2017, but that doesn't affect PSA. After the lung surgery he finally gave in to Lupron which didn't work. Casodex was added and that seemed to bring the PSA down a bit for awhile but he was up to taking three Casodex.

After provenge
Finished
provenge
cycle on Dec.21. Felt pretty god when I left Dr.s office. Didn't feel well Friday or Saturday. Called oncologist and he said to go to emergency. Also there might be contamination of my last infusion. Went to emergency and they tested very high markers for a liver test.

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

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.
