Hi
sorry to hear of your issue. There are a lot of places depending on where u are located. I would look at Hopkins in Maryland or Sloan Kettering in NY. What treatments have you had so far and when were you first diagnosed?

thank you for your response.
thank you for your response. one of my family was diagnosed advanced prostate cancer about 2 years ago, doctor said he couldn't get surgery, so he had radiation treatment. then his psa down below 5, then they said he was cured, no treatment after then except luprin every 3 months, but 3 months later, his psa up to 65, they said his cancer went to bone already, then started hormone treatment plus zometa for bone treatment for 3 months, then psa still up to 250, then they stopped hormone treatment for a month to let medicine get out of his body system before giving new treatment, then he changed doctor, new doctor told him about provenge, then he waited for provenge treatment for another 2 months, so he had no treatment for total 3 months except luprin and treatment for bone, then his psa up to 1300, then doctor started his chemo treatment ( docetaxel ) 2 month ago, his first docetaxel chemo treatment is fine, but they had to stop treatment during his second one because his bad body rejection, then one week later, they started a new chemo treatment ( cabazitaxel ), he had blood side effects, white cell, red cell both dropped, and he had to have blood transfusion, but his pain stopped, and he felt better, one week ago he had his second cabazitaxel chemo treatment, he was fine, but today his blood test showed that his white cell, red cell and plateles all too low, he had to have another blood transfusion for both his red cell and plateles, and his psa still keep going up to about 1700, it seems he has to have blood transfusion every month, and his psa went up 400 within 2 months even though having chemo treatment. and doctor told him he would be out of option if this chemo treatment doesn't work. so he was so disappointed, i just want to know what else i can do for him. any experience or any other ways to treat him? we are living in TN. thank you for your help!
