I have metastatic prostate cancer and my options for treatment are pathetically limited. I have been looking forward to Provenge being approved and I can\'t express enough my dissapointment with the FDA ruling.

I have been fighting pc for 10 years , caused by agent orange in Vietnam ... I have taken all available chemo drugs, they work for a while then cancer takes back over.... I am now on a drug used in the 1950's .... Isn't it Ironic I got it by exposure, in the army, but cant get new treatments.........

The deadly action by the FDA in not approving Provenge is further compelling proof that vital change is needed at the FDA. Provenge in one of the drugs the Abigail Alliance has been pushing for earlier access to for some time now..

Raymond Frazier - Survivor, Swedesboro, NJ
Indeed, if the same figures cited were about Caucasian males, there would be immediate approval, a mass media campaign for enlightenment, and monies made available for care. Once again, our institutions show their devaluation of black life!

Roger Martin - Survivor, Akron, OH

I am currently on hormones for advanced metastic prostate cancer.

My husband has prostate cancer and has been fighting it since 2000. I was most disappointed when I heard they did not approve Provenge. My husbands doctor was just waiting because she said you are a candidate for this drug. I have contacted FDA...
