Can anyone share their experience with Pluvicto?

Here is my personal situation. I was a clinical trial patient for Norvartis Pharmaceutical in 2021-22 for what became Pluvicto. No insurance was involved. 2 years later, the prostate cancer has returned and I am going through the same 6 Pluvicto treatments again, but this time Medicare and my private insurance in paying. My oncology group worked with and obtained approval from the insurance providers.
So, I'm assuming insurance would NOT pay for the treatments twice (6+6=12). I have heard of, but do not know of anyone personally, except myself repeating the treatments.
Six teatments are about $300,000 plus peripheral costs of maybe $25,000-50,000.

Thank you for this information. My husband is on Medicare and 6 treatments are what they have approved. I have not heard of any private insurance companies that would cover more treatments.

Thanks for sharing your Pluvicto infusion story... I just finished my six infusions. I had a PSMA scan after the first four infusions, and it showed that the infusions had been beneficial in regards to my bone metastises... Question for you--- Did you have any bone scan (not bone density) after your fourth infusion?? If so, did you then have another scan after your sixth infusion to see what benefit there was (or not)??

Thanks again for your time/information... Mark
