Congratulation...: Congratulated for having favorable effect from Provenge (sipuleucel-t) as demonstrated in declining psa. I'm sure you're informed of its potential average life extension of about 4 - 4.5 months, which is not necessarily applicable with an individual like you. So, how long the help from Provenge (sipuleucel-t) may last is unpredicatble. Nonetheless, keep up healthy lifestyle which is foundation of healthcare ; key to longevity.
