Hi there, I have been having my inhibins drawn pretty regularly after my recent mastectomy for DCIS. They have continually risen since that time. Inhibin A is 2.6 and Inhibin B is 77. I just saw my oncologist, who spoke with Dr. Donovan at Baystate Medical who reccommended a PET scan, but he wasn't sure that HMO Blue would authorize it, and the test is $2700! Wow! I am wondering what others think about this because I am willing to pay for it if my insurance company denies, but only if the consensus is that it will finally give me a definitive answer. I have a need to know whether or not this constitutes a recurrence. I need to have a yes or no answer to be able to deal with it rationally. The maybe/maybe not scenario that I keep getting is turning me into a crazy person!
