Juan, As you know, Provenge is the brand name for sipuleucel-T, an autologous cellular immunotherapy used to treat late-stage prostate cancer that no longer responds to hormone therapy (metastatic castrate resistant).

@ken82 posted information about the approval of this drug here https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/255858/, but I'm not sure if he has had it offered as a treatment. While we wait to see if other members have experience with Provenge, you may appreciate this information:

When will you start this treatment? Have you already had white blood cells removed to create the vaccine for you?

Thank you for your information, I haven’t started yet because I’m waiting for my insurance approval,

I stated 2 weeks ago and I had the white blood cells putted back to my body I’m going for my second this Monday and on Thursday I will get the either cell out back the the last one will be on Teo weeks after and that will be it. So far no side effects feeling good.
