Blab away that is what this board is for. My heart goes out to you. We live in Canada and our system is different. Our insurance did cover the cost of sutent and we are very lucky. Our CT's and other scans are covered by our Medicare system. I would be in as much panic as you if I couldn't get the test my husband needs. Always remember the squeeky wheel gets the grease so plug ahead and stop at no one. Think of you Mazzy
