Joel T Nowak, M.A., M.S.W.
I can’t help that my MD tried three chemos. I still want to take the drug. My MD is going to try to put me back on Taxotire which makes me very ill. I have had the Provenge treatment. If I don’t qualify, when will the drug be available for me???
John,
Nobody can give you a specific date it will be approved, Even though everyone really believes that it will be approved, we can not guarantee it. The best guesses are that we will hear from the FDA in two or three months, but this is only a guess.- Joel
abiraterone will not be available as a generic for many years. your best chance is to qualify for some of the ongoing trials. trials
