This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer. There are only four rules:
No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making
Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.
Since this is an International Forum, please specify your location in your post.
diagnosed with prostate cancer - 11/2010
Davinci prostectomy, gleason score 9 - 1/2011
Bone mets (spine, hip, ribs, shoulder, elbow, skull), no pain 1/2013
castrate resistant 11/2013
recommendation of Provenge 11/2013 treatment not started yet
I am still concerned that there is no positive way to know if Provenge is working. I have considered other options but am not sure what.
