There is a clinical trial for pre menopausal women. It is IBCSG 24-02. This trial has two arms that offer ovarian suppression. You may want to Google the trial and see if it is offered in your state. If it is offered then you can suppress your ovaries for 5 years and maybe then the testing will be even better and then insurance companies will pay for it more routinely. Is your child a daughter or son?? If you have a daughter you may want to be tested so that she will know. If you have a son, I hope they have better testing by the time we both have granddaughters.
