Hi,
I asked my onc about the test and of course he had to find out what it was. He did give me the test but had me sign that I would pay for it if insurance didn't. Insurance did pay and now he thinks it's a better test, rather than the more expensive scans. It's about 300.00. My reading is 8, should be less than 15. He did say it was usually used for mets but said it would be good to catch any new mets early. Although he said it would not catch for brain mets, I'm looking into this. For me the blood test is less stressful than the scans. I have had two but at my three year mark I may have it once a year.
