The tissue is sent to a lab in San Fransico and they rate it based on a whole list of genetic factors. If you score above 30, you do chemo. Under 30? No chemo. It's a new-ish test but my oncologist says it's been proven very accurate and if you're questioning chemo, you might want to check into it. Originally my surgeon ordered chemo but after this test (I scored 14) decided against it, unless I wanted it, which I did not. I'll see if I can find the name of it. The lab in San Francisco is the only place in the US to get this test, and for me, insurance covered it 100%.Forty Pound Sackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16532270470379845645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7473446302785903724.post-3501819164135643032012-03-22T20:17:16.314-05:002012-03-22T20:17:16.314-05:00A PET scan is quite extensive and will look for ca...A PET scan is quite extensive and will look for cancer other places.(although it only picks up a certain number of cancer cells, not just a few) It's a terrifically expensive test though. If they have any thoughts that the cancer has spread, even a tiny bit, I would do the chemo, just to make very sure. That's just me though.
