Todd, safe travels, have a great leukapheris and better yet, welcome to the Provenge fraternity. After all these months and energy spent to get approved, you are here. It is time and lets hope that the Provenge product does as it has been advertised to do.

Todd,

Hope the leukapheris and the provenge infusion goes well for you without any complications. I am so glad after so much fighting, arguing, protesting that you were able to win after so many levels of rejection. You deserve it. Have a good weekend as you recover, and gear up for the second round.

Welcome to the Provenge Brotherhood my friend.
