Hi Joan,

I'm not "taking sides" on this, but I've heard that the testing is free in Europe because the patent doesn't apply there, and since it is known to cost around $3,000 or more in the US to be tested....

Well, IF a person from the US was eligible to get the test done in Europe for free, one wonders whether it might be quite nice to sample the delights of Europe with a plane ticket and a stay at a nice hotel....

A.A.
