Hi, so nice to hear from you! I feel the same way you do. We now have had two PSA tests done since surgery, both with bad results. PSA going up. The docs want the pmsa pet scan done asap but we are still waiting to hear from the insurance company! In the meantime we have started ADT and have been referred to a radiation oncologist. I am very upset about all of it but mostly the insurance company. The doctors have all been wonderful. Now waiting on yet another PSA result. Life has been turned upside down. Thank you so much for responding to me.

Yes, I feel your pain about the insurance companies. Have you tried to call them yourself and tell them this is time sensitive? I think taking names and calling them might help, it certainly won't hurt. I hope you hear something soon.

So they won't let you schedule the PMSA pet scan just to at least get him on the schedule while you wait for insurance? Sending positive vibes your way.
