Well, Finally Started....

[TheWizardofWesley]

Well after kicking and screaming and tearing my MO and his "Team" a New One...

I got my PSMA scan... and .....

All of a sudden out of the blue... I get a call that says "We have doses set aside for you if you want to start Pluvicto " Oh ... and BTW.. we had a cancelation, so if you want to start on Jan. 30th ( that call was just two days before) You already have Insurance co. approval. So sign the consent form and you are Good to Go .

WHEW ,,, ! that was quick from "Sorry we won't have any doses until at least the end of March early April"..

The Take away from this .. YOU!!! Yourself... have to be your own advocate. well at least here at Moffitt.. This saved me about three months of waiting.. letting my disease progress to who knows where... and making arrangements to travel to the Mayo Clinic SIX times... from Tampa.. at a cost of appx . $2,500.00 per trip Air, Hotel, Meals and Transpiration..

So men.. Do Not take no for an answer...

All IV'ed up getting my first Pluvicto Treatment...

FYI ... to be honest. almost no SE's other than a little tiredness. oh and I glow in the dark 😜

Rite on …nobody on the planet wants you to be successful more than us guys do brother. I’m definitely pulling for you.

❤️❤️❤️

Yeah - we all need to be the pilot of our life. „No“ just means, that the person at the other side needs at least one argument more. 😉

[TheWizardofWesley in reply to Nusch]

Yep.. Agreed 100%

[swwags]

I hope all goes well Wesley!!!

[GSDF]

Awesome brother!... 👍

[Poowater]

Yes, one must be one's own advocate. My MO didn't even suggest Pluvicto. I asked for it.

[TheWizardofWesley]

Thanks everyone.. your support means so much... Stay blessed... 😇

congratulations. I too was told February- Moffit - Tampa. Wife called as I had another appointment on January 20th and guess what - approval -medication available and a cancellation on January 20th! At least we have started another chapter in our journey. Good Luck
