I got a call from Kaiser today. After three appeals three denials, three letters to the c.e.o. of kaiser, countless hours doing research on the computer and documentation of phone calls and judging by my last phone bill, way more hours than I care to think about talking to everyone, The state of WA. said that Kaiser has to provide provenge asap after my visit with Dr. V. I start in 3 weeks. They also told Kaiser that Dr. V, being an expert in the field will not be questioned in opinion for future treatment. Thank you so much to all my h/w/brothers and sistes for making this happen. As promised i will not be posting again on the provenge update thread. It has gotten far too big. I may print it. Thank you all for the congrats.
