Got the OKAY for my PSMA PET SCAN
WOW great day today (8/16/25) BCBS Advantage plan called me and approved the PSMA PET SCAN…. YEA!!!! After 7 weeks of telephone calls, 38 calls to be exact it’s a go. Should get the schedule on Monday. I really got great advice from the group here and I’m grateful for all the replies and encouragement. Now I need to get a good report, like NO additional prostate cancer found in “other” areas. So far we know it’s in the seminal vesicles as well as the prostate. I’ll let you know the results when I get the PSMA. Oh, today just happens to be my birthday so the call from Blue Cross was the best gift.. God Bless all of you. Ken

Happy Birthday, kenporter.
Ken... God did bless you. I had mine on the 14th. I know the task of getting it approved. I hope for a super clear clean report when you get the results. Also, happy birthday. May God always bless you.
Great news and Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday, thanks for sharing, we all need some good news, very happy for you. Best to all.
Happy Birthday, Ken - many more to come!!
Happy Birthday 🎂
Happy birthday and congrats on getting approved for the scan! Hope you get good news.
Great news, and Happy Birthday Ken. I am a BC/BS Advantage member, and got mine scheduled a day after Dana Farber, in Boston, put in the request. Sorry to hear you had such a hassle. Good luck with the scan, it is very easy, you sit around for an hour after the injection, while the isotope circulates, then about 20 minutes or so in the machine and you are done.
Ken, HB!!!!! I also had to jump through MANY BCBS hoops to get my PET approved. Wishing you the same results as well 🙏🏾
Great news!!! I'm having mine tomorrow.
