Hello,

Shouldn't be that hard to get anywhere. A PET scanner is a relatively common piece of high-tech hospital equipment, and the PSMA PET scan just requires the specific radioactive injectable substance that targets prostate cancer. I know it's readily available on the East Coast, so I would think the better hospitals on the Front Range (Denver, Colorado Springs) would have the test available.
I had the Pylarify PSMA PET scan in May of 2022 at Rocky Mountain Cancer Center in Denver. It should be widely available by now, almost a year later.
This lists places that offer Pylarify. Other places use a different PSMA scan (68GaPSMA-11):
it seems to be available in more locations now. For example, in December 2021 I had a choice of Portland OR or Sacramento CA. It is now available 12 miles away from me in Medford OR, roughly halfway between Portland and Sacto. Check out the website Tall_Allen posted or call Pylarify directly, which is what I did. All the best to you.
UC in Aurora

I had mine just over the border in WA state, which doesn't answer your question but your forum name made me think you might be north of here.
my urologic oncologist is with UC Health. She tells me that when the time comes I can get the PSMA pet scan through them. Certainly the Aurora location and possibly at Highlands Ranch.
My MO at Rocky Mtn Cancer Center says YES, they have both PSMA scanning and he heads up a clinical trial on Lu177 treatment for men that are ADT sensitive....call them, my MO is Dr Eulitt and he is great.
I just had one completed at the UC Health Central hospital in Colorado Springs. Total cost will be around $500 vs close to $1,200 at Rocky Mountain Cancer Center.
