Guest guest Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 One of the Yana men who posts as Dennis Dennisissure (at http://www.yananow.org/Mentors/DennisD.htm ) has just posted a rather harrowing description of his attempts to have Provenge as a therapy. Whilst Dennis may not be a typical example of the administration of Provenge, I must say I was surprised to find that the initial part of the therapy involved a three and a half hour procedure to extract the leukocytes from the blood. Have any other Provenge men had similar problems as those described by Dennis? If you read Dennis’ story you will see that he has had a pretty rough time of it over the six years since his diagnosis and after being told he can expect to live a maximum of two years he is understandably feeling somewhat down. He does not subscribe to this List as far as I know, so if anyone feels that they can boost his morale, I suggest they mail him directly. All the best Prostate men need enlightening, not frightening Terry Herbert - diagnosed in 1996 and still going strong Read A Strange Place for unbiased information at http://www.yananow.org/StrangePlace/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um, what I have read tells me that that is exactly an essential part of the Provenge procedure......... Regards, Steve J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
