When was your first PSA test after RP ? (after how many days)

My husband had his post RARP PSA test six weeks afterwards. Bad results: 1.9. Doc ordered a PSMA pet scan to be done STAT…insurance wouldn’t consider paying for it until there was another PSA test at 12 weeks! Just had that, bad results: 4.7. We are waiting now to see if they will pay for it. I can’t believe they play with people's lives this way. Never have had coverage problems before. In the meantime have started ADT and will start radiation following the PSMA pet scan. I feel very upset about it all.

That is ridiculous. Very frustrating! For goodness sake just let our doctors do the testing needed. It really is not right that insurance can control so much. 🙁
Sending hugs and positive thoughts that it will get approved asap.

I am so sorry to hear that 😢, just unbelievable. I know first had how disheartening such situations are, sometimes I feel like I exist in a twilight zone.
I hope that your husband will now have expedited and superb care 😟 and that all will be well. *hugsssssss
