My husband's doctor has not recommended, and declined our request for, any additional drugs like Zytiga because he has not demonstrated metastases, but we intend to find another doctor. We plan to try to get an appointment with Dr. Sartor at Tulane.
I've only recently read about Provenge and I would like to know when insurance (Medicare) would pay for it. Officially my husband is castrate sensitive (but PSA is trending upward on Orgovyx). After Axumin in February 2020 when PSA was just over 2 there were a couple of spots of activity in his prostate bed on the right side where margins were positive and one iliac node. He had proton beam radiation to the pelvic region and PSA went down to 0.03, but is heading back up. Most recently it was at 0.2 (5/18/21).
Any guidance would be appreciated.
