Has anyone done only 4 Pluvicto treatments & saved 2 for later?

Posted by deltadawn78 @deltadawn78, Jan 12 3:57pm

Anyone who has done 4 Pluvicto treatments and save the last two for a later time? If you PSA has gone down 70% in just one treatment and is at 3.9 waiting for results of second treatment and PSA results this week. Wouldn't it make sense to give your body a break? Thanks.

@deltadawn78 What I would like to know is this: Since Pluvicto treatments cost $50,357.34, will Medicare cover them or are only the rich allowed to stay alive? I ask this because I am tired of researching, finding treatments that are promising and then discovering that they are not covered by my Medicare coverage and Medicare supplement and the treating facility will only treat people that can afford to pay tens of thousands in cash.

Medicare pays for up to six treatments of Pluvicto.

@tdoriausername Medicare paid for six Pluvicto treatments at Mayo Rochester and the associated scans. We had no trouble at all getting the prior authorization or payments.
