I read that a few weeks ago, however, I don't think that test has been approved by the FDA yet. There is a test, which I just had a few weeks ago, that does determine if there are cancer cells in your blood. It is called a CTC blood test. It was approved by the FDA not too long ago...So anyone out there reading this, tell your oncs you want this test. Mine came back with 0, which means no cancer cells in my blood. My onc was very positive about it, but being the skeptical person that I am, and giving the wierdness of my breat cancer, I told him I wasn't as happy as he was. He will be giving me that test every 3 months, for the next year, as I continue with Herceptin, Tykerb and Avastin. Go out the internet and look up CTC blood tests, there are a couple out there that are being developed but only one that is approved, that is called the CellSearch technology.
