CareToLive Continues Fight for Prostate Cancer Patients Rights!

The court ruled,

“Appeal Denied”.

Kerry is very sorry we could not win this for the patients suffering with AIPC. “We will take the fight to the Supreme Court but we understand that this is not timely enough for many thousands of suffering men.”

We are unripe. We are in FDA limbo. We haven’t been denied a license, yet you can’t get Provenge, but it is not denied, just delayed a few years. To our fathers, husbands, sons and brothers who have passed away, it is as final as anything can get. The FDA needs to be disbanded and the patients rights given back to the patients and not the corporations, and “venture capitalists.”

Unconscionable!

We fight on!

Next Stop

Kerry Donahue, our lawyer extraordinaire, has incredible fortitude to pursue this fight on behalf of men with late stage prostate cancer. The Courts are passing this hot potato up the hill. Kerry has filed a lawsuit on behalf of CareToLive to try to get men with late stage prostate cancer access to Provenge, a safe, non toxic, non invasive immunotherapy. Somebody needs to get the ear of the right fat cats on the hill, exchange a few suitcases of cash, no, wait a minute, that would be illegal. We have men we love who need Provenge NOW! Approve it because it is the right thing for a civilized society to do. Visions of Soylent Green come to mind.

FEAR NOT!

MOTION TO THE SUPREME COURT TO REVIEW Coming Soon!

Kerry, We LOVE You. You are doing an incredible job. You stand among America’s finest. Your amazing work on behalf of men with late stage prostate cancer is unrivaled!

The courts are part of the system, pushing us aside, shutting off another route to redress. We will stay in their face. What choice do we have.

Ted needs Provenge NOW!

WHATS GOING ON

This Is An Emergency!

We rallied outside the FDA building in Rockville, Maryland on September 18th. Now there are buses riding around Rockville and Washington, D.C., further protesting the shenanigans that took place inside the FDA building, as well as outside.

The FDA has gotten caught up with Wall Street. While it is supposed to be busy with evaluating food and drugs, its employees just can't keep their eyes off the money. So that is how decisions are being made these days.

WE'LL BE BACK

These people traveled from all across the country to protest outside the FDA Building in Rockville, Maryland. The FDA has stopped a safe and effective treatment from getting to men who need it now. The treatment is called Provenge and it treats men who have late stage prostate cancer.

The FDA appointed a panel of experts to help it decide on the safety and efficacy of Provenge. That panel voted 17-0 that Provenge was safe. And it voted 13-4 that Provenge showed substantial evidence it worked. And yet the FDA delayed it. Now it could be a year, a year and a half or it could be three years. It could be forever.

These people will keeping coming back to Rockville and they hope others will join them until the courts, the FDA, Congress or somebody does something about this travesty.
